Former India captain Sourav Ganguly says fast bowler Mohammed Shami is not being neglected by selectors. Speaking publicly, he describes Shami as a proven performer who is still valued, pointing to Shami’s recent domestic cricket showing as part of a broader case for his continued consideration.
On the question of whether Shami will return for the 2027 ODI World Cup, both outlets report that Ganguly says it is too early to make any prediction. He does not frame the situation as settled, instead indicating that selection decisions depend on ongoing form and timing.
In related comments, Ganguly also discusses wider pathways for India’s younger players. He highlights the importance of Test cricket for development, and references Ishan Kishan’s Duleep Trophy performances as a potential sign for a future Test return. The coverage focuses primarily on Shami’s status and the uncertainty around the World Cup timeline, with Ganguly’s broader remarks tying into his views on how players build form across formats.
