Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami is reportedly being considered for India's ODI squad against New Zealand, starting January 11. After recovering from injuries and surgery, Shami has shown strong wicket-taking form in domestic tournaments, taking 16 wickets in seven SMAT games and six in three VHT matches. Selectors are tracking his fitness and performance, with a BCCI source indicating he is a strong possibility for the series and potentially the 2027 ODI World Cup.
