Shami returned to competitive cricket last November after a lengthy injury break. He has played white-ball matches for India, including the Champions Trophy 2025. However, the team management and selectors still have concerns about his fitness for the demands of the longer format of the game.
“If Mohammed Shami isn’t available in Australia or England, why would the selectors pick him against West Indies and South Africa at home. They might as well use Akash Deep, Arshdeep, Harshit or Mukesh as Siraj or Bumrah’s partner," the ex-selector was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
Selectors Had No Choice But to Leave Mohammed Shami Out
According to a report by PTI, a representative from the BCCI’s Sports Science and Medical team recently assessed Shami in Lucknow. The evaluation concluded that his body is not yet ready to handle the physical demands of Test cricket, especially bowling 15 to 20 overs a day.
However, given the medical team’s assessment, the selectors had no choice but to leave him out despite the value his experience could have brought.
