Shami may return to Team India, will he play the Australia series?

Mohammed Shami: Team India's deadly bowler Mohammed Shami has finally returned to the field after a long time. He will have to wait a bit longer to return to international cricket, but he is ready to test his fitness and form by becoming a part of the Bengal team in the Ranji Trophy match. In this match started between Bengal and Madhya Pradesh, all eyes are on Shami, as it will be interesting to see if he is able to bowl on the same line and length for which he is known.

Return to the field after almost a year

This return of Mohammed Shami is very special for his fans. He had not played any match since the 2023 ODI World Cup, and during this interval, questions were raised on his fitness and form. His return to the Ranji Trophy indicates that he is returning to his old style again. If he bowls well while playing for Bengal, then the way to return to Team India can also open soon.

Shami's role in India-Australia Test series

The five-Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22, in which Shami's entry is considered very important. Although he will not be able to play the first Test, Shami is expected to return in the Pink Ball Test starting on December 6. Between the first and second Tests, Team India also has to play a warm-up match with PM XI, which can be a good opportunity for Shami. If Shami proves his fitness, the BCCI may consider sending him to Australia soon.

Shami's importance and his dominance on Australian pitches

On Australia's fast and bouncy pitches, the Indian team needs an experienced fast bowler who can challenge the big batsmen of the opposition team. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Shami's experience and swing bowling ability can prove to be extremely important for the team. His accurate line and length can create problems for the Australian batsmen. If Shami's fitness and form are proven in the Ranji Trophy, then Team India will get a bowler who has the ability to win matches single-handedly in Australia.

Team India's expectations

Both Team India's fans and selectors are keeping an eye on Shami's performance. They hope that Shami will soon return to international cricket and will be seen in his old deadly style on the fast pitches of Australia. At present, there is no pacer in Team India's fast bowling attack other than Bumrah who can single-handedly drag the match, and Shami's return can fill this gap. His arrival will bring a new edge to the Indian pace attack, and the team's chances of winning will also increase.

In this way, by performing brilliantly in the Ranji Trophy, Shami can not only prove his fitness, but can also strengthen the hopes of victory for the Indian team in the Australia tour.
