Mohammed Shami Shows Strong Form and Motivation Ahead of Duleep Trophy Final
Mohammed Shami, at 36, continues to demonstrate strong hunger and motivation for an India comeback, as highlighted by East Zone captain Ishan Kishan. Shami recently took five wickets in the Duleep Trophy semifinal, helping East Zone reach the final for the first time in 13 years. Despite being sidelined from the national team since 2025, former India bowling coach Bharat Arun and Kishan emphasize Shami's consistent domestic performances, fitness, and experience. Selectors have expressed fitness concerns, but calls persist for reconsidering Shami's place given his durability and ongoing form.
