Shami happy to see Bhuvneshwar back in the Indian team
Mohammed Shami performed well in his Ranji Trophy return for Bengal, taking four wickets against Delhi. He expressed satisfaction regarding Bhuvneshwar Kumar's national team selection and criticized the quality of pitches provided for domestic matches.
Why it matters
Shami's comments reflect ongoing debates regarding player fitness, selection criteria, and the quality of infrastructure in Indian domestic cricket.
Even at 36, Mohammed Shami stands out with his skill-set and hard work to underline his worth.
Having started his Ranji Trophy season well with a four-wicket haul for Bengal in its outing against Delhi at the Bengal Cricket Academy ground here on Sunday, Shami said he did not feel any difference about his ‘inbuilt skill.’
“You should have the smartness to know when to make the ball move in and out. I don’t feel any change (about my performance). People express their opinions, such as I don’t have the rhythm and fitness. I don’t care about all this and I enjoy my game,” said Shami, leading the Bengal attack, also comprising international pacers Akash Deep and Mukesh Kumar.
