Mohammed Shami was in sensational form in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2025/26 season. He recently picked up 8 wickets in the semi-final game against Jammu and Kashmir, playing for Bengal. However, he could lead his side to the final of the competition. Shami has been out of the Indian team since 9th March 2025, when India won the ICC Champions Trophy.
Mohammed Shami has also been removed from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) central contract. However, he keeps delivering in the domestic circuit and has been a top performer for Bengal across every tournament they have featured in. He has been the second-highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy for Bengal with 37 wickets in the season.
Mohammed Shami to make a comeback?
The Men’s Selection Committee member RP Singh was present at the Kalyani Ground and witnessed Mohammed Shami’s excellent bowling performance. In the same game, he also smashed a fifty in the first innings.
Your daily dose of cricket!
There might be a chance that Shami might be called up for the Test team, where he last featured on 7 June 2023 vs Australia. Shami was brilliant in the 2023 ODI World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Supreme Court sends notice to Mohammed Shami
However, problems do not go away for Mohammed Shami, despite on-field problems with his fitness and selection. Off the field, the Supreme Court has issued a notice to India speedster after his wife, Hasin Jahan, filed a petition to transfer of their ongoing domestic violence and alimony case from Kolkata to Delhi.
The notice comes from a bench formed by Justices Manoj Mishra and Ujjal Bhuyan, asking the speedster and the West Bengal government to respond to Jahan’s appeal. The ongoing case, which has been proceeding in Kolkata, can be shifted to the capital state if the court accepts Jahan’s plea.
Jahan stated in her argument that the move to Delhi was required to provide better educational possibilities for their daughter, and that, as a result, she would be unable to attend court proceedings in West Bengal.
Hasin Jahan further stated that Shami, as a professional cricketer, travels widely throughout the country for matches and training purposes. She claimed that Shami has sufficient resources to contest the lawsuit in Delhi without encountering any issues. She also brought out the point that her family lives in Uttar Pradesh, which is closer to Delhi than Kolkata.
Mohammed Shami’s career is over?
Jahan has also requested that the monthly alimony for herself and her daughter be raised from INR 4 lakh to INR 10 lakh. The conflict began in 2018 when Jahan filed a criminal case in West Bengal, alleging cruelty and harassment. She later claimed compensation under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, as well as the requirements for maintenance.
However, there has been no response to the recent notice sent to Shami, as the Supreme Court will now have a look at whether the reasons provided by his wife are enough to transfer the case from Kolkata to Delhi, keeping a tap on the convenience of both parties.
