Mohammed Shami : Team India will not be able to exclude Mohammed Shami now, he did a great job before the Champions Trophy..

In the Vijay Hazare Trophy pre-quarterfinal, Mohammad Shami delivered an outstanding performance by taking 3 wickets. This display is crucial ahead of the Team India selection for the Champions Trophy. The question remains whether he can now secure a return to Team India.

Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami : has been absent from Team India since the World Cup 2023 final and missed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, Shami is now set for a comeback. Ahead of the team selection for the Champions Trophy and the ODI series in England, Shami has made a significant impact with the ball. Currently participating in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the fast bowler claimed 3 wickets against Haryana. Although Shami gave away 61 runs in his 10 overs, the key takeaway is that he bowled 60 balls without any issues. These 10 overs demonstrate that Shami is ready to rejoin Team India.

Shami made 3 victims

Shami claimed his first wicket by dismissing Haryana opener Himanshu Rana, who managed to score only 14 runs. Shami then took the wicket of wicketkeeper Dinesh Bana, who scored 15 runs in the middle overs, and also dismissed Anshul Kamboj. In addition to Shami, fast bowler Mukesh Kumar also secured 2 wickets. Despite these dismissals, Haryana's team successfully scored 298 runs in 50 overs.

Shami is practicing

Shami underwent ankle surgery last year and was off the field for an extended period. However, he returned to play in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he performed admirably. Currently, Shami is also excelling in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, having taken 5 wickets in 3 matches so far.

The selection for Team India for the England T20, ODI series, and Champions Trophy is scheduled for January 11, and Shami might be given an opportunity. It is anticipated that Bumrah may not participate in the Champions Trophy due to an injury sustained during the Sydney Test. If Bumrah is unable to play, Shami will be tasked with leading Team India's bowling attack. Shami has consistently performed well in ICC tournaments, having taken 55 wickets in 18 ODIs.
