Shami set for India recall after impressive Ranji Trophy performance

Mohammad Shami has made a compelling case for his return to the Indian cricket team through an impressive showing in the Ranji Trophy. The right-arm pacer's strong performance in domestic cricket has caught the attention of national selectors, with former chief MSK Prasad publicly supporting his case for international recall.

Shami's recent form mirrors the trajectory of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who successfully made his way back into the national squad following a series of standout domestic performances. Both bowlers have demonstrated their readiness to compete at the highest level after extended absences from international cricket.

Prasad has highlighted several key factors supporting Shami's candidacy for the Indian team, suggesting that his current fitness and performance levels justify serious consideration for selection. The pacer's ability to take wickets consistently in the Ranji Trophy has reinforced arguments for his recall among cricket analysts and former selectors.

With India's bowling contingent under constant review, the emergence of in-form pacers like Shami adds depth to the team's options. The final decision on his inclusion will likely depend on upcoming selection meetings and India's fixture schedule in the coming weeks.
