Shami's India Career Nears End After NZ ODI Snub; Selectors Eye Youth
- •Mohammed Shami likely out of India's international cricket plans after being excluded from the New Zealand ODI squad.
- •Despite strong domestic form post-injury, including 16 Ranji wickets and 11 Vijay Hazare wickets, selectors overlooked him.
- •The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is prioritizing younger bowlers like Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, and Arshdeep Singh.
- •This decision signals the probable end of Shami's 13-year international career, spanning 64 Tests, 108 ODIs, and 25 T20Is.
