Ishan Kishan delivers a message to India selectors amid the ongoing debate about Mohammed Shami’s potential comeback. Kishan’s remarks emphasize that age is not a barrier, aligning with Shami’s recent performances in the Duleep Trophy.

Multiple reports say Shami plays a significant role for East Zone, which reaches the Duleep Trophy final after a long gap. In the semifinal at Bengaluru against Central Zone, Shami takes five wickets, helping East Zone advance. The focus across the coverage is the contrast between Shami’s match impact and ongoing discussions about whether he should be considered for national selection.

While the articles center on Kishan’s comment, they share the same underlying context: Shami is central to East Zone’s progress in the tournament. The differences are mainly in how the “comeback debate” is framed, but both place the emphasis on performance during the domestic competition as the basis for the conversation.
