‘Shouldn’t have closed door on Shami’: Ex-India coach questions Agarkar-led selectors

Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun questions Mohammed Shami's current exclusion from the national team. He believes the veteran pacer still possesses significant talent and durability for cricket. Shami has not played for India since the March 2025 Champions Trophy tournament. East Zone captain Ishan Kishan also notes Shami's strong motivation for a comeback. The pacer recently played his 100th first-class match in the Duleep Trophy final.
