Mohammed Shami may return to the Indian team very soon. At present, Shami is continuously making waves in Indian domestic cricket. Vijay is performing well in Hazare Trophy, before that he has also performed well in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Ranji Trophy. A media report has revealed that BCCI is keeping a close watch on Shami’s domestic performance.

According to a report published in NDTV, a BCCI official said that the board is keeping an eye on Shami’s domestic performance and now the chances of his return seem to be increasing.

Mohammed Shami will play 2027 ODI World Cup!

It was told in the report that Mohammed Shami’s name is being discussed regularly in BCCI and he is not out of the race yet. The concern remains only about his fitness. The source said, “A bowler of his caliber will definitely take wickets. It would be wrong to say that he is out of the race for selection in the team. He seems to be in a good position for selection in the series against New Zealand. Given his experience and wicket-taking ability, his selection in the team will not be surprising. His selection in the 2027 World Cup is also completely possible.”

Mohammed Shami played the last match for Team India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Shami was the highest wicket taker for India in the Champions Trophy. He and Varun Chakraborty took 9 wickets in the tournament. Despite this, Shami has not been able to play any match for Team India after that. He has taken 17 wickets in the last 6 matches including Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

There has been a lot of controversy regarding Shami in the last few months. In fact, after being dropped from the series against Australia, he had said in the statement that it is not his job to give information about fitness to the selectors. On the other hand, Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had also reacted to this and said that if Shami had been fit, he would have definitely got a chance to go on the England tour.

Shami was not even selected in the Test series against West Indies after the England tour. Now he has not been selected even for the South Africa Test series. Amidst the ongoing controversy regarding Shami’s selection, a BCCI spokesperson has given a big statement.

According to news agency PTI, a BCCI spokesperson said, “It has happened many times when the selectors and the support staff of the BCCI Center of Excellence have inquired about the fitness of Mohammed Shami. The selection committee wanted to take him to England, because Jasprit Bumrah was not going to play more than three Tests. Who would not want a bowler of Shami’s caliber in the conditions of England?”

India vs South Africa test series starts from 14th November. Mohammed Shami has not been selected in the Team India squad for this series also. On this, the source said, “A narrative has been set that no contact was made with Shami, this is absolutely not true. The Sports Science team has his medical report, which tells whether Shami can bear the burden of international matches or not.”

Strong comeback in Ranji Trophy

Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami has made a comeback in the domestic red ball tournament Ranji Trophy. He has shown match-winning performances in both the matches so far for Bengal. Shami has taken 15 wickets in just 2 matches of Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season.

What is the problem with me …

Mohammed Shami said, “If someone has a problem, come and tell me. Will someone’s life be better by taking my retirement.
