Bengal’s Ranji Trophy team has been announced for the next two rounds in Bengaluru and Indore. Once again, the name of Team India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami is not in this team, after which it is being speculated that he may have to wait longer to return to competitive cricket. Due to knee injury, he has been away from cricket for a long time.
After his name was not included in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy, fans were speculating that Shami is either not fully fit yet, or he has not got match practice. BCCI had not given any reason for his not being on the Australia tour. Now it was expected that he would be seen playing for Bengal in Ranji Trophy. But his name is not in the squad for Bengal’s upcoming two matches.
Mohammed Shami was last seen playing in the final of the World Cup 2023, where Team India had to face defeat at the hands of Australia. After this Shami got surgery for his injury. It has now been almost a year since Mohammed Shami played competitive cricket.
Even before the series against New Zealand, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had hinted that the selection of Mohammed Shami for the Australia tour would be difficult. Rohit had told that Shami was on the verge of becoming fit, but then suddenly his knee started swelling due to which he had to start his recovery again.
