The Story in Brief
Zaheer Khan has told Mohammed Shami to be patient and not to give up despite being overlooked for India's ODI squad. The former pacer said the selection committee's priorities lie elsewhere at present. He advised Shami to focus on playing matches and performing consistently. Shami last played for India in the 2023 World Cup final and has been struggling with fitness issues since then.
The Indian Opinion
Some fans frame Shami's exclusion as a snub, but Zaheer's calm advice shows it's about team balance and fitness timelines, not personal bias. The BCCI's cautious approach with injuries, like Bumrah's, deserves credit despite social media uproar. The real test will be Shami's domestic form in the next Ranji season, not just Twitter campaigns.
