'It's not my loss': Mohammed Shami makes stance on his India future clear after Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s comeback
While Bhuvneshwar Kumar's return to Team India has excited the fans, long-time teammate Mohammad Shami has made it clear that Kumar's selection doesn't concern him.
Mohammed Shami has made his stance on India's future selection clear after fellow India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned to the national team. Shami, speaking to RevSportz, stated that Kumar's recall does not concern him and that he is only focused on his upcoming match for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy. Shami, who last played a Test in the 2023 World Test Championship final and an ODI in the 2025 Champions Trophy final, has been a consistent performer for Bengal.
He emphasized that if he doesn't get the opportunity to play for India again, it's not a loss for him. Shami's focus remains on his domestic duties with Bengal, with the selectors yet to announce the ODI and Test squads for the New Zealand series.
