After the Snob of the Asia Cup, what does the future contain for the Indian stimulator Mohammed Shami?

Mohammed Shami is only one of the best Pacers, not only to get out of India, but the world, in the last decade. Yes, injuries have tormented him since 2019 and have not played, as much as he should have, but it is useless to say how effective it was through formats. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, he would not give a single reason to worry, whether to his team or fans.

Mohammed Shami is not in the team of India plans?

But his non-selection in the Ind VS Eng series first, and now in the Asia Cup 2025 team, is perhaps a signal, that he is no longer in the loop. Although the inclusion of Jasprit Bumrah was discussed from the start – it was almost given that Mohammed Shami will not be chosen.

So, is it the game for Indian legend? No one can of course say with certainty, but it seems that there is not much confidence, selectors on their physical form. He played in the champions trophy last, where in five games, he took 9 counters, but he did not watch his best, TBH. Although he had a decent campaign, this pace was missing.

Does the BCCI preserve it for the 2027 World Cup?

In any case, if he is not chosen in a T20i tournament, then what are his chances of playing in ODI and tests, below? Asia Cup would have been an ideal opportunity for him to test her physical form again, but the selectors thought the opposite. Post this, there is a series of Tests from the Antilles, then the Odi VS Australia.

All this may be, this series could be the decision maker of the future of Shami. If it is inside, it is definitely in a sort of plans for the 2027 World Cup. Otherwise, India would risk losing another fine rhythm to the series of injuries. Despite all this, we hope to see the stimulator serve Indian cricket at least until 2027.

Always the best

Given the excellent record which he boasts in the World Cups, he becomes a must have, if he is in good shape. In just 18 games, the man has 55 narcotic strokes at an average of 13 and a strike rate of 15.8. This means that he picks up three counters in each WC match. For everything you know, it could be a ploy of the BCCI and selectors to preserve it only for the ODI and the World Cup. And we would know it by the Australia series.
