Shami happy to see Bhuvneshwar back in the Indian team

Mohammed Shami, now 36, continues to prove his value with a standout performance in Bengal’s Ranji Trophy match against Delhi, where he claimed four wickets at the Bengal Cricket Academy ground. The veteran fast bowler dismissed concerns about age or fitness, emphasizing his ability to adjust his bowling strategy and maintain effectiveness.

Shami also expressed satisfaction over Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s return to the Indian national team after a four-year absence, highlighting the depth of Bengal’s pace attack alongside teammates Akash Deep and Mukesh Kumar. Despite his team’s request for a more bowler-friendly pitch, Shami adapted to the humid conditions, stressing the need for tactical adjustments when match conditions don’t favor the bowlers.

His leadership in the attack underscores his enduring relevance in domestic cricket.
