Mohammad Shami's recent performance in the Ranji Trophy has reignited debates about his potential return to the Indian cricket team. The 36-year-old fast bowler produced a remarkable 4/30 in 17.3 overs against Delhi, showcasing his pace, accuracy, and ability to trouble the best batters. Shami's figures included 9 maidens and 4 wickets, demonstrating his consistency and experience in the longer format of the game.
Despite not representing India since the 2025 Champions Trophy final, Shami's performances in domestic cricket have caught the attention of selectors and cricket fans alike. His return to the national team would mark a significant comeback for the experienced pacer, who has consistently delivered in the Ranji Trophy over the years.
However, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar recently earning a recall to the T20I squad for the upcoming New Zealand series, the debate about Shami's international future intensifies. As the discussions continue, one question remains: how long can India ignore Shami's talent and leadership skills, which have proven invaluable in domestic cricket?
