Mohammed Shami Appears for Voter Verification Hearing in Kolkata

Indian pacer Mohammed Shami appeared before poll officials in Kolkata on January 20, 2026, for a hearing related to discrepancies in his voter enumeration form during the ongoing Special Summary Revision (SIR) exercise in West Bengal. Registered as a voter in Kolkata's Rashbehari assembly constituency, Shami and his brother Mohammed Kaif were issued notices by the Election Commission. Shami missed an earlier hearing due to cricket commitments in Rajkot. He has lived in Kolkata for years, having relocated there early in his career and played under Bengal's cricket system.
