Mohammed Shami named in Bengal's probables list for upcoming domestic season

India Today6 days ago
India pacer Mohammed Shami was named in Bengal's 50-member list of probables for the upcoming domestic season, which was released on Saturday, July 19, as reported by PTI. Shami, who has been out of action since a lacklustre IPL 2025 campaign, wasn't selected in the squad for the ongoing England tour. The list released by the Cricket Association of Bengal also includes pacer Akash Deep and Abhimanyu Easwaran, who are both part of the touring squad in England. advertisementPacer Mukesh Kumar and senior batter Anustup Majumdar have also made it to the list, with the latter expected to lead the side. All-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed and Abishek Porel are also part of the 50-member list, who will attend a preseason camp, the date and venue of which will be announced soon. Shami could also be in the mix to be a part of the East Zone team in the season-opening Duleep Trophy, which will return to its inter-zone format and begins on August 28. The pacer last played for India during their triumphant Champions Trophy campaign early in the year after recovering from a knee injury. Shami's 2025 so far
Shami picked up nine wickets in five matches, which was the joint-highest for India in the tournament alongside Varun Chakravarthy as India beat New Zealand in the final. However, his return to the IPL was lacklustre as his outing with his new franchise, SRH, only yielded six wickets from nine matches at an economy rate of 11.23. Shami made a return to domestic cricket last year ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but wasn't picked for the Australia tour.

Bumrah becomes third Asian seamer to complete 50 Test wickets in England

Manchester [UK], July 26 (ANI): Indian veteran seamer Jasprit Bumrah completed 50 wickets in England. He became only the third Asian bowler with 50 Test wickets in England after Wasim Akram (53) and Ishant Sharma (51). He achieved this feat against England in the fourth test match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy at Old Trafford cricket ground on Friday. He now has 50 wickets in 12 matches, averaging 26.38 and an economy rate of just 2.79. He also has 4 wicket hauls to under his name. Bumrah finished the day 3 of the fourth Test with 15 overs bowled, 48 runs conceded, and just one wicket of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith to show for. His overall spell reads 1/95 in 28 overs, taking into account his bowling on day two. Despite being the third-highest wicket-taker in the series with 13 scalps in five innings at an average of 26.69, with two five-wicket hauls, the numbers still look underwhelming as he was coming back to Tests after a long injury lay-off, which happened during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 against Australia away from home, during which he took a record-shattering 32 wickets at an average of 13.06, with two four-fers and three five-wicket hauls to his name. Coming to the match, England started their day at 225/2, with Ollie Pope (20*) and Joe Root (11*) unbeaten. The duo went on to have a century partnership, building on the exploits of openers Ben Duckett (94 in 100 balls, with 13 fours) and Zak Crawley (84 in 113 balls, with 13 fours and a six). They took England to 332/2 at the first session end, with both having scored their fifties. In the second session, while Washington Sundar (2/57) removed Ollie (71 in 128 balls, seven fours) and Harry Brook (3), skipper Stokes and Root thwarted any further resistance from India as Root completed his 38th Test ton and went past Ricky Ponting to become the second-highest Test run-getter. England ended the second session at 433/4, with Stokes and Root unbeaten. Siraj and Bumrah faced fitness issues during the session, having walked off the field, with Bumrah contributing only one over with the new ball. Stokes, while he completed his fifty during the final session, went off the field due to trouble in his left leg. Root was removed by Jadeja for a brilliant 150 in 248, consisting of 14 fours. Bumrah and Siraj removed Jamie Smith (9) and Chris Woakes (4) quickly, reducing England to 528/7, but Stokes (77*) came back to bat and, along with Liam Dawson (21*), kept any other possible disaster at bay. England ended the day at 544/7, leading by 186 runs. Earlier, England opted to bowl first after winning the toss and India made 358 runs, with half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan (61 in 151 balls, with seven fours), Yashasvi Jaiswal (58 in 107 balls, with 10 fours and a six) and Rishabh Pant (54 in 75 balls, with three fours and two sixes) were major contributions for India. Stokes (5/72) struck tough blows on India, never really letting them settle with a massive partnership. (ANI)

These stats show decline in Bumrahs bowling speed during day 3 at Manchester

Manchester [UK], July 26 (ANI): India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's bowling has evidently seen a decline in speed in the Test series against England. Bumrah had a largely forgettable day on the field during day three of the match. He finished the day with 15 overs bowled, 48 runs conceded and just one wicket of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith to show for. His overall spell reads, 1/95 in 28 overs taking into account his bowling on day two. Notably, during this series, there has been a decline in the number of 140-plus kmph balls delivered by Bumrah. The pacer, who is only featuring in three Tests of the series, bowled 106 such deliveries out of 266 total deliveries bowled at Headingley, 39.84 per cent of his total balls were above 140-plus kmph. He took a five-wicket haul in the first innings, but went wicketless in the second while defending 371 runs unsuccessfully. At Lord's during the third Test, 69 of Bumrah's 257 balls (26.84 per cent) were 140-plus kmph. In this Test, he took a first innings fifer, following it with two more wickets in the second innings. But India lost by 22 runs, failing to chase 193 runs. Now, during the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Bumrah could bowl only one ball above 140-plus kmph out of a total of 173, barely (0.57 per cent). While he had missed the Edgbaston Test after playing at Leeds to prepare himself for Lord's, Bumrah has pulled a back-to-back with Lord's and Old Trafford Tests, with eight days in between the Tests. Bumrah notably struggled with his fitness during the second session. After the new ball was taken in the 91st over, Bumrah could bowl only one over with it, going for 11 runs before walking off the field. As per Sky Sports, Bumrah returned to the field in the 98th over, which was bowled by Shardul Thakur, but was hobbling a bit, after jolting his left ankle while coming down the stairs earlier on. Even ex-Indian coach Ravi Shastri pointed out Bumrah's struggles while walking. Later Shastri said in his live commentary that Bumrah would be back to bowling after second session."Bumrah is out in the middle but he will be able to bowl only after tea," Shastri said on air, according to Cricbuzz. Bumrah was in fact back to bowling during the final session, opening the bowling and got Jamie's wicket. Despite being the third-highest wicket-taker in the series with 13 scalps in five innings at an average of 26.69, with two five-wicket-haul, the numbers still look underwhelming as he was coming back to Tests after a long injury lay-off, which happened during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 against Australia away from home, during which he took a record-shattering 32 wickets at an average of 13.06, with two four-fers and three five-wicket hauls to his name. Will Bumrah be back at his best on day four? Is there indeed something up with his fitness? Only time will tell. (ANI)
