Former Players Advocate for Mohammed Shami's Return Following Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Recall
Following Bhuvneshwar Kumar's return to India's T20I squad after nearly four years, several former players have advocated for veteran pacer Mohammed Shami's inclusion in the national team. Despite Shami's last international appearance in 2025, he has maintained strong domestic performances and fitness. Supporters like Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Rishi Dhawan, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Wasim Jaffer emphasize Shami's experience and consistent form, urging selectors to consider him for upcoming formats, including Tests and ODIs ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
