Mohammed Shami, the stalwart Indian fast bowler, marked a remarkable return from injury by claiming four wickets in a Ranji Trophy clash on Thursday, a performance that could prove crucial for his selection in the challenging upcoming Australia tour.

Shami, playing his first red-ball match in over a year, exhibited his prowess by bowling effectively across 57 overs, securing four wickets, including that of Madhya Pradesh's captain. His return is a beacon of hope for the Indian squad, but his fitness will be closely monitored by the national selection committee.

After a prolonged hiatus due to ankle surgery and knee issues, Shami's successful recovery is vital for India. His potential inclusion in the Test series against Australia hinges on further assessments of his fitness after the Ranji match wrap-up, with national hopes riding on his form alongside fellow paceman Jasprit Bumrah.
