Fans Emotional For Mohammed Shami: Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami was once again ignored. On Sunday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India for the 3-match ODI series against New Zealand to be held from January 11. Fans were hoping that Shami would get a chance in the first series of 2026, but it did not happen.

The ignoring of Shami, who has consistently performed well in domestic cricket, also indicates that the Indian Cricket Board has moved ahead of him and perhaps this is the end of Shami’s international career. Even on social media, fans appeared emotional after Shami was not selected.

Fans became emotional about Shami

Fans appeared quite emotional on social media after not seeing Shami in Team India. While sharing Shami’s picture, a user wrote, “Today’s team selection indicated that Mohammed Shami’s international cricket career may probably end here.” Similarly, fans were seen very emotional about the Indian pacer.

BCCI and Shameless so-called Coach Gautam Gambhir dropped our best bowler Mohammed Shami just to accommodate garbage like Harshit Rana and Prashidh Krishna. https://t.co/TyIoraIQc1 pic.twitter.com/bdP71ykJ2A

This man has crossed all limits of bias.
Mohammed Shami, who has been consistently performing well in domestic cricket, is having his career ruined by Ajit Agarkar due to politics. No legendary player plays as much domestic cricket as Shami has.#mohammadshami #bccl #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/xw96MDko5d

Shami’s last match for India?

Let us tell you that Shami played the last match for Team India in the final of 2025 Champions Trophy. The thing to note is that Shami was the joint highest wicket taker for India in the Champions Trophy. He took 9 wickets in the tournament.

Continued excellent performance in domestic cricket

The thing to note is that Shami is currently playing Vijay Hazare Trophy for Bengal. In this 50 over tournament, Shami has taken 11 wickets in 5 matches. Earlier in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Shami had taken 16 wickets in 7 matches. The Indian pacer had also performed brilliantly in Ranji Trophy matches. Even after doing all this, Shami was not selected, which somehow makes it clear that his international career is over.
