During the chat, Mohammed Shami "didn’t sound too confident" and was snubbed from the Test squad as the selectors didn't feel he was at peak fitness to handle the workload.
Duleep Trophy 2025 is set to start on August 28, and Mohammed Shami will be seen in action in the very first game as the East Zone will lock horns with the North Zone.
The upcoming Duleep Trophy fixture will only be his second first-class appearance since his comeback, and the performances will decide his Test fate.
“In all probability, Shami will be playing the first game. He’s busy with his preparation too at his academy back home (in Amroha). He’s getting ready,” a source close to the pacer told The Telegraph.

“If Shami comes up with an impact-making performance against North Zone, the selectors will certainly take notice because his quality cannot be ruled out," a BCCI insider said, as quoted by The Telegraph.
Meanwhile, a board official said that the picture is unclear regarding Mohammed Shami's desire to make a comeback in Test team and reaffirmed that he was not dropped from the Test squad based on his performances or form.
“First of all, he wasn’t dropped because of form. Fitness issues are the only reason why he couldn’t travel to England. After missing the last tour of Australia, his presence was pretty much needed for the England series. The selectors had also spoken to him before finalising the squad, but he didn’t sound too confident. That much-needed assurance from him was missing."
Mohammed Shami's Asia Cup chances "remote"
Shami's participation in both assignments is doubtful at the moment as his recent T20 performances in IPL 2025 were awful, and reportedly, BCCI is looking for a bowler who "still has seven-eight years of cricket left in him rather than an individual who’ll be turning 35 soon."
