Mohammed Shami has been the biggest weapon for Team India for many years. He made his debut in 2013 and since then he has been leading the Indian team to victory with his brilliant bowling in every major tournament. Shami has led the Indian attack in all three formats. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, he created a sensation among the opposing batsmen with his sharp bowling. Let us tell you, Shami has taken only 55 wickets in only 18 matches in the ODI World Cup. From this, one can guess what is his importance in the team. However, Shami is now 34 years old and has been suffering from injuries for some time now. On the other hand, 35-year-old Virat Kohli and 37-year-old Rohit Sharma have already retired from T20. Apart from this, many bowlers are knocking on the door for entry into Team India. In such a situation, it is possible that Shami may have to be out of the team.

Gautam Gambhir can take a tough decision

Former Team India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has spoken to Criconext about Mohammad Shami's future. Paras believes that Shami is Team India's biggest weapon, but he has a maximum of 3-4 years left. Considering his current fitness and age, the management will have to use Shami very carefully. So that his potential can be fully utilized in the coming years. Shami may want to play every format. In such a situation, Gambhir will have to talk to him clearly and tell him about the team's needs and future plans. Apart from this, if needed, tough decisions like removing Shami from the shorter format may also have to be taken in the interest of the team. Paras Mhambrey believes that the current management should have a complete plan for Shami's future.

Can make a comeback against Bangladesh

Mohammed Shami has not played any cricket since the 2023 ODI World Cup. He has been away from the field for the last 9 months due to an injury in his heel. He also had to miss big tournaments like the England Test series, IPL and T20 World Cup. However, he has undergone surgery and is now working on his fitness. According to reports, he can return to international cricket from the Bangladesh Test series starting on 19 September. It is very important for Shami to remain fit for India, as the team has to tour Australia in November. At the same time, he will be needed in big matches like Champions Trophy and World Test Championship.
