India pacer Mohammed Shami has expressed his frustration and disappointment after being repeatedly overlooked for the national team. Since the Champions Trophy, he has not received opportunities to play at the international level. Shami made it clear that he is fully fit and ready to play, stating, “If I can play a four-day Ranji match, I am fully capable of playing a 50-over game.” His remarks reflect his confidence and professionalism.
Indian selectors, led by chief Ajit Agarkar, noted that Shami hasn’t played much international cricket over the past few years. However, Shami believes his performance speaks for itself, and he deserves a place in the national team. To showcase his skills, he will play for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy, hoping that his strong performance will catch the selectors’ attention and help him secure a return to the national squad.
Shami’s statements reveal his disappointment and frustration, highlighting the need for greater transparency and communication in the selection process. Many believe that giving opportunities to experienced and talented players like Shami can further strengthen Indian cricket.
