Mohammed Shami has not been selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia due to injury. After this he was selected in the Bengal team for Ranji Trophy and he also performed well.
In such a situation, speculations started in many media reports about Shami going on Australia tour. He has been away from international cricket since the ODI World Cup 2023 and has not played a single match for Team India. Now big news has come out in the media report on his return.
Shami can play one to two matches in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
According to media reports, Mohammed Shami can return in the second half for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. According to reports, the medical team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the national selectors want Shami to play some more competitive matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to see if he is fit after all these efforts. It is not a match, even if it is a white ball tournament. Chief coach Lakshmi Ratan Shukla said that the Bengal team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy will be selected tomorrow. If Shami does not go for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy then I believe he should be available for Bengal.
Shami took 7 wickets in the match
The selection committee did not want to take any risks by including Mohammed Shami in the squad after just one Ranji Trophy match after completing an extensive rehabilitation programme. But in a competitive match a year later, Shami performed brilliantly for Bengal against Madhya Pradesh in Indore, taking seven wickets to lead his team to their first win of the season.
24 wickets taken in ODI World Cup 2023
