The former India captain believes that Shami is not being ignored and pointed out that the fast bowler has already achieved a lot in his long career. Shami has not played for India since the 2025 Champions Trophy, where he played an important part in India’s title-winning campaign.
Sourav Ganguly hailed Mohammed Shami for continuing to play domestic cricket and perform whenever he gets the chance. The former BCCI president believes that the pacer remains a top-class player despite being out of the India setup across the formats.
When asked about Shami’s chances of playing in the ICC ODI World Cup 2026, Ganguly said it was too early to make any prediction, as the tournament is still more than a year away. The CAB president added, “That's a long way. I can't comment. It's in October (next year). It's a long way.”

The CAB president also congratulated East Zone for their Duleep Trophy triumph and lauded Ishan Kishan for his brilliant captaincy. Ganguly also believes that Kishan can make a Test comeback, having last played a Test for India against the West Indies in July 2023.
