Former chief selector Chetan Sharma praised Shami’s consistency in line, length, and pace, saying, “How can Shami bowl like this if he wasn’t fully fit?” Additionally, Rudrapratap Singh, a current selector, was present at Eden Gardens during the match against Gujarat. Shami’s performance had raised hopes for a call-up to India’s Test squad against South Africa.
Although he wasn’t selected for the Test team, there is now a strong possibility that Shami could be included in the Indian squad for the three-match ODI series starting November 30. Shami’s dedication in the Ranji Trophy, both on the field and in the nets, reflects his determination to return to the national team.
Critics and selectors alike acknowledge that his current form and fitness could significantly strengthen India’s pace attack. At this moment, Shami’s potential comeback has become one of the most talked-about topics in the cricketing world.
