Mohammed Shami takes 4 wickets as Bengal lose to Maharashtra
Mohammed Shami takes 4 wickets but Bengal lose by 10 wickets to Maharashtra in Ranji Trophy.
Mohammed Shami took 4 wickets and bowled 8 maidens in 23. 5 overs at 1. 60 for Bengal against Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy. Bengal made 143 and 186, but Maharashtra chased 112 for a 10-wicket win after scoring 218 in their first innings. An unbroken 114-run opening stand sealed it. Shami had taken 3 wickets in the first innings and 2 in the second against Kerala, and 5 against Delhi earlier in the campaign. He's now played four matches this season. Shami hasn't been recalled to the Indian side despite these domestic numbers.

Shami's economy of 1.60 shows he can still bowl long spells without leaking runs, but the question isn't whether he deserves another India chance — it's whether the selectors have decided the next phase belongs to younger bowlers, regardless of what he posts in the Ranji Trophy.
