Shami Not Chosen for Australia Series
Off-spinner Mohammed Shami has been omitted from the India's ODI and T20 series against Australia. His name was not on the list of players to be considered for selection. Shami had played for India last in the Champions Trophy and hasn't been included in any national team formation since then.
Shami Condemns Team Management Over Communication
The Bengal pacer, who is gearing up for the Ranji Trophy, was left disappointed with the Indian team management. He claimed that no management official had consulted him about his fitness status.
The team management hasn't inquired about my fitness. It is their job to verify, not mine to inform them. If I am fit to play a four-day Ranji game, why am I not fit enough to play an ODI? If I was not fit, I would be at the National Cricket Academy, and not preparing for the Ranji Trophy," Shami said.
Shami Prepares for the Ranji Trophy
The 2025–26 Ranji Trophy season begins on October 15. Shami has been named in the Bengal squad and is actively training. His current preparation includes both bowling and batting practice in the nets.
Uncertain Future in the Indian Team
According to cricket sources, Shami’s return to the Indian team may be challenging given the current situation. Despite his efforts in domestic cricket, his comeback to the national side remains uncertain.
