Shami’s Resilient Return After Injury Woes
After a string of injuries sidelined him for most of the 2024 and 2025 seasons, Mohammed Shami has delivered a stirring comeback in domestic cricket, representing Bengal with trademark prowess. The seasoned pacer missed crucial IPL and international campaigns due to heel and knee troubles that required surgery, leaving his future in doubt. Critics questioned whether Shami could regain his fitness and form, but the numbers speak volumes — he has snatched 15 wickets in just three Ranji Trophy matches this season, indicating both readiness and rhythm. Shami’s spell has revitalized Bengal’s attack and reinforced his reputation as one of India’s finest seam bowlers, even amidst speculation about his international prospects owing to the emergence of younger speedsters. His controlled aggression and ability to handle pressure remain assets, and selectors will be closely watching his performance in the forthcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which could determine both his potential international recall and IPL fortunes.
Easwaran’s Steadying Influence at the Top
Alongside Shami, Abhimanyu Easwaran makes a notable comeback as Bengal looks to stabilize its batting lineup. Easwaran, known for his technical solidity and leadership, had been sidelined due to form fluctuations and intense competition but now returns, injecting renewed hope. His experience in domestic and ‘A’ team competitions positions him as a pivotal figure for Bengal’s campaign. While focus often falls on Shami’s stellar bowling, Easwaran’s role at the top — anchoring innings and mentoring younger players — will be crucial for Bengal’s quest for consistency and progression through national tournaments. His presence is expected to provide the team both stability and strategic depth through the season.
With Shami and Easwaran back in the squad, can Bengal capitalize on their experience to deliver a strong run in domestic competitions and influence selection debates at the national level?
