Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has expressed his desire to see Mohammed Shami return to the Indian Team across all formats. Ganguly praised Shami’s fitness and current form. So far this season, Shami has taken 15 wickets, helping Bengal secure back-to-back wins in their first two Ranji Trophy matches.
According to Sourav Ganguly, Shami is fit and he has won games for Bengal, hence he wants Shami to be back in the Indian team.
“Shami is bowling exceptionally well. He is fit, and we saw that in the three Ranji Trophy matches, where he won games for Bengal on his own,” Ganguly said
“I’m sure the selectors are watching, and there is communication between Mohammad Shami and the selectors. But if you ask me, in terms of fitness and skill, it’s the Mohammad Shami we know. So, I really don’t see any reason why he can’t keep playing Test matches, One-Day cricket, and T20 cricket for India. Because that skill is enormous,” Ganguly said.
There are questions that remain about whether Shami will be making a comeback or not. His most recent match being the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in June 2023. India has also shifted its focus to the ODI World Cup in 2027 and Mohammed Shami’s recurring injury concerns will play a huge factor in determining his selection.
