Ex-cricketer seeks clarity on Mohammed Shami's continued omission
· Sports · Times of India
Former India cricketer Vijay Dahiya has called for accountability regarding Mohammed Shami's continued omission from the national team, stating there has been no clear explanation from selectors. Dahiya expressed confusion over Shami's absence despite his recent domestic performances, including a return to Bengal's lineup after injury. The pacer was rested ahead of India's home series against England, but his prolonged absence has raised questions among former players. Dahiya emphasized that selectors owe the public and players transparency about omission decisions, especially for a bowler of Shami's stature. He noted that while rest is understandable, the lack of communication fuels speculation and uncertainty. The former cricketer urged the BCCI to provide clear reasoning behind Shami's non-selection to maintain trust in the selection process.
Why it matters
The call for transparency affects Indian cricket fans and players who seek clarity on national selection criteria, particularly for senior bowlers like Mohammed Shami. Without clear communication, speculation grows, potentially undermining confidence in the BCCI's selection process and player morale.
