The upcoming five -match Test series against England is not a major headache for Indian selectors. The biggest bomb captain Rohit Sharma’s sudden test came in the form of retirement, who called time in the longest format on his career after playing 67 matches. A few days later, a report went viral on social media, stating that Star India Batter Virat Kohli is also considering his retirement from Test cricket. Since these two shockers were not enough, the selectors have faced another shock as Pesar Mohammed Shami.
According to a Times of India report, India’s squad against the injury-prone Pesar England does not have a direct pick for the selectors. Their form and fitness is a major concern as the selectors now need to find a balance in the bowling line-up.
“So far, Shami is not an automatic pick. It has been months because he is back in international cricket, but he has been barely in rhythm. While the performance of IPL is usually not considered while taking India’s teams, Shami is struggling to finish his run-up and he is used to use for his abbrens, which is used for 2023, which is used for 2023. “BCCI sources told National Daily.
Shami faced Achilles tendon injury during the 2023 ODI World Cup and was ruled out of action in the entire 2024. He returned to the ground in the T20I series against England in February 2025. Since then, he has played in the Champions Trophy and is also playing in the ongoing IPL.
The Indian Committee is looking to manage the charge of Pesar Jasprit Bumrah as he returned after recovering from a back injury during the Seema-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Now, if Shami is also fit to play all five tests against England, the selectors will have a difficult time.
“The initial plan was to ensure that the team could play at least either Shami or Bumrah in every test. However, if Bumrah is rested for a match and struggles to pull Shami, it would be a big issue. They are trying to understand the problem that Shami is facing,” the source said.
