Overview

  • Shami is included among Bengal’s 50-player list of probables for the upcoming domestic season.
  • India’s chief selector ruled him out of the England Test series after medical staff flagged concerns over his workload capacity.
  • He last represented India in March’s Champions Trophy, finishing as one of the team’s joint-highest wicket-takers with nine scalps.
  • Shami struggled in IPL 2025, taking six wickets in nine appearances at an economy rate above 11.
  • The Duleep Trophy, returning to its zonal format on August 28, offers him a first-class platform to rebuild rhythm and stake his claim for Test selection.
