With India preparing for their all-format tour of New Zealand, Prasad believes that experienced bowlers should get opportunities based on their performances. While Bhuvneshwar has already earned a chance to revive his T20I career, Shami’s impressive domestic performances should not also be ignored. He has not played for India since the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 triumph.
However, MSK Prasad did not want to guess why the decision came at that time, but he backed the experienced pacer’s selection. The 36-year-old has made a strong impact in the IPL over the last two seasons.
MSK Prasad was quoted as saying by India Today: “I don't know about the timing, but I think it's a wonderful inclusion. Because someone who's got 72 wickets in the last three-four editions of the IPL thoroughly deserves to be there.”
Prasad not sure about Bhuvneshwar Kumar's ODI comeback
The former chief selector added, "I don't know Bhuvi in an ODI format, but he will stick to the T20 format. For the class that he has, he can still play.” Amid this, Sandeep Patil opens up on tough calls involving Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh.
Shami’s international future has remained uncertain because of questions surrounding his fitness and workload. However, Prasad believes that the senior fast bowler’s outstanding performances in the 2015, 2019, and 2023 ODI World Cups, as well as in domestic cricket, make him worthy of another chance.
Bring him back now: MSK Prasad
He signed off by saying, “Someone like Shami, who was your top performer in 2015, 2019, and 2023, and still he's doing well, I would love to see him in the New Zealand series. I would love to see him even in an Indian series against Australia. If you have to do that, then you should start giving opportunities for them from now on.”
