‘They shouldn’t have closed the door on Mohammed Shami’
Since 2023, Mohammed Shami has been absent from India's Test matches, and he has continued to play first-class cricket across various domestic tournaments. At 36 years old, Shami is set to play his 100th first-class match for East Zone against South Zone in the Duleep Trophy final. Despite not representing the national team, Shami remains passionate about bowling and has expressed his love for the game, stating that he will bowl regardless of the venue or opportunity.
Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun attributes Shami's continued success to his passion and pride in being the best seam bowler in the world. Arun believes that India should not have written off Shami too soon, as he still possesses the durability and talent to contribute to the team.
