Mohammed Shami has been in the news recently due to the news of his drop from the Indian team. Now the news is that the Election Commission has sent summons to Shami and his younger brother Mohammad Kaif. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued notices to both the brothers for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) hearing. Actually, the Election Commission has noticed some discrepancies in the census forms of Shami and Kaif. This process started from 16 December.
Mohammed Shami plays for Bengal in domestic cricket, but he is originally from Uttar Pradesh, but has been living in Kolkata for a long time. Shami and his brother were ordered to appear before the Assistant Electoral Registration Officer on January 5, but due to the Vijay Hazare Trophy schedule, they will not be able to attend the SIR related hearing on January 5.
Shami had written a letter to the ECI regarding his prior commitments, after which his hearing date has been postponed to January 9-11. By then, Bengal’s group matches will have ended, while the quarterfinal matches will start from January 12.
Fast bowler Mohammed Shami and his brother Mohammed Kaif are voters of Ward No. 93 of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, which comes under Rash Behari Assembly constituency. This matter is said to be related to technical flaws in progeny and self-mapping.
Mohammed Shami is continuously performing well in Indian domestic cricket. Has taken 11 wickets in 5 matches for Bengal in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. Before this, he had also performed strongly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Despite this, he has not got a place in the Indian squad for the New Zealand ODI series.
