Shami's Stellar Domestic Form Ignored: Is a Comeback Overdue for the Veteran Pacer?

• Despite a clear focus on domestic performance by the Indian team management, veteran pacer Mohammed Shami continues to be overlooked.
• Shami recently delivered an exceptional 8/90 spell in the Ranji Trophy semifinal for Bengal, highlighting his red-ball prowess.
• With 462 international wickets and over 200 wickets in both Tests and ODIs, Shami is one of India's greatest fast bowlers.
• His Test bowling average of 27.7 is the second best for any Indian fast bowler with over 100 wickets, yet he hasn't played a Test since WTC final 2023.
• Selectors' decision to ignore a fit and firing Shami, especially given his strong domestic form and 'Second Innings Shami' reputation, raises questions about India's fast bowling depth.
