Why was Mohammed Shami left out of India's Test squad despite strong recent domestic performances?
Selectors are unsure if his body can withstand long bowling spellsAlthough Mohammed Shami performed impressively in recent Ranji Trophy matches—taking more than 15 wickets in three games—he was again omitted from the Test squad. The primary reason cited is the selectors' concern over his ability to endure the physical demands of Test cricket, which requires long bowling spells.

The selectors appear to be prioritizing long-term reliability over immediate talent.
