Mohammed Shami's continued omission from India's Test lineup against New Zealand has stirred controversy and prompted questions regarding the selectors' judgment. The veteran fast bowler's absence from the squad has left analysts and fans searching for answers.

Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif is actively advocating for clarity surrounding the selection decisions, highlighting Shami’s impressive domestic performances. Kaif pointed out the lack of accountability in explaining why the seasoned pacer remains sidelined.

Having excelled as the top wicket-taker in the recent ODI World Cup, Shami's ongoing exclusion raises serious concerns regarding his current fitness levels and bowling workload management.

Amid ongoing discussions and debate across the cricketing fraternity, Shami's role remains critical to India's aspirations in international cricket moving forward.
