India recently announced its squads for the upcoming New Zealand tour, where they will play two Tests, five ODIs, and five T20Is. However, Shami was once again overlooked by the selectors, leaving many surprised, and Kaif wants to know how such a strong record is being ignored. Earlier, Akash Deep credits Gautam Gambhir for standing by him during tough times.
He noted that Shami helped India manage its bowling attack with five main bowlers, without making the team feel the absence of an additional bowling option after Hardik Pandya was ruled out of the World Cup with an injury.
You have to keep transparency: Kaif
Mohammad Kaif was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, "No questions are asked, no BCCI selector explains the decisions, and there’s no accountability. You have to keep transparency. This is about Mohammed Shami—the player of the 2023 World Cup. If he wasn’t there, India would not have reached the final.
The former India cricketer also pointed out that Shami has been continuously performing well in domestic cricket, so the team management and selectors must provide transparency. Amid this, Mohammed Shami injury up Bengal coach issues statement on Ranji Trophy absence.
Mohammad Kaif calls for clarity over Mohammed Shami
Reports suggest that concerns about his match fitness and ability to handle the demands of Test cricket have played a major role in his continued absence. Shami has also been bowling shorter spells in domestic matches, which has reportedly raised questions about his readiness for longer games.
Jasprit Bumrah also bowls short spells: Kaif slams selectors
Kaif believes a similar approach could also be considered for Shami if workload management is the main concern. The former cricketer said, “I heard that he’s (Shami) bowling short spells and so not being picked. Jasprit Bumrah also bowls four-over spells in Test cricket. In England, his workload was being managed, and Shubman Gill followed it.
If one bowler is being treated in a particular way, then the same can be done for others too. There’s nothing wrong in bowling short spells if you can get the job done. So, transparency remains a grey area, which I hope should be addressed soon. Someone has to give the clarity.”
