Mohammed Shami Comeback: Set To Return For Ranjai Trophy To make a plentiful return in competitive cricket, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has hopped onto the Bengal unit for the ongoing Ranji Trophy. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, characterized by injuries or the escalation of international cricket commitments, the fast bowler is expected to take part in Bengal’s forthcoming fixtures against Madhya Pradesh on November 13.
Shami’s relinquishment of domestic cricket ahead of the series defending the Border-Gavaskar trophy and the Champions trophy in early 2025 is viewed as necessary to help him regain his match fitness.
A boost to Team India
The involvement of Shami in these Ranji games will help him settle into the rhythm and gauge fitness levels after his marvelous contributions in the recently concluded 2023 ODI World Cup. Skipper Rohit Sharma and Gautam have urged the cricketer to be fit enough for the Champions Trophy 2025 given that age and pace will be of great importance to the nation’s bowling department, of which Shami is a crucial part.

Bengal Advantage and Shami’s Willingness to Help
Laxmi Ratan Shukla, the coach of team Bengal, was hopeful about the role that Shami would play, suggesting that his inclusion would enhance the team more so as some of their key players were away on national duty. Shami as well is keen to get active in the domestic season, understanding the significance of Bengal and India to him.
This return is not only beneficial for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy but also gives a glimpse of hope for the chances of Team India in future international tournaments.
