Mohammed Shami Birthday: Team India fast bowler Mohammed Shami is 35 years old. He has done well in the World Cup and Asia Cup for India. Here we tell you why Shami did not get a place in the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025?
Asia cup 2025: Born on 3 September 1990, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami is 35 years old. This bowler has won many big matches for Team India so far. From the World Cup to the Asia Cup, this player has wreaked havoc on the teams in front of the ball, but despite this Shami did not get a place in India’s 15 -member squad for the Asia Cup 2025. There was also resentment among his fans about this. Not only this, Shami herself said in an interview that he could play this …
In fact, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors refused to take fast bowler Mohammed Shami for the Asia Cup T20 2025 Dubai. Shami was also seen practicing several times, he also said that when I can play in Dilip Trophy, then why not? Everyone is desperate to know the reason behind this. Let us tell you the 3 biggest reason for Shami’s absence.
Mohammed Shami’s fitness
The most main and big reason for not keeping Mohammed Shami in the team in the Asia Cup 2025 is his fitness. He has often struggled with the problem of injury. After the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, Shami underwent her ankle surgery. He then recovered and got a chance for India to play T20I against England in January 2025. He did not look much effective there too, after which he did not get a chance to bowl more. Shami was not able to put his entire spell in the match and his speed was also slow. The reason behind this was his fitness.
Suddenly how to enter a big tournament?
Mohammed Shami played the last T20 I match for India in January 2025. However, after that he was seen playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025, but he did not look much effective in that either. In such a situation, it is difficult to play in the sudden tournament being held at large level. In the Asia Cup, the Indian team will have teams like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh when they go to Pakistan, Super 4. In this situation, Team India should have the bowling option that looks more effective and fit. In such a situation, it is difficult for Shami to play continuously.

Getting a chance for youth in the team?
In this Asia Cup, Team India is seen full of youth. Except Jasprit Bumrah, there are no players in the team who have played 50+ T20 i. In such a situation, BCCI’s eyes are on giving place to young bowlers in place of Mohammed Shami. This is the reason that Harshit Rana, who plays only 1 T20 International in the team, has been given a chance. Apart from this, Arshdeep Singh is also a left -handed young fast bowler. At the same time, Hardik Pandya can do the work of fourth pace. Shami is difficult to be in the team in this situation.
