Shami's ODI Snub? Ashwin Says It’s No Biggie, G

Yo, peep this! R Ashwin just broke it down on why Shami ain't rollin' with the crew for the ODI showdown against New Zealand. The selectors ain't vibin' with his long-term game till 2027, feel me?

Quick rundown

1.Ashwin says Shami's 2027 World Cup readiness hinges on current form and workload.

2.Shami's ODI non-selection is framed as workload management over potential.

3.Siraj's inclusion adds needed experience for India's 2027 World Cup plan.

4.BCCI announced India's ODI squad for NZ on January 3.

5.Shami's domestic form for Bengal in the Hazare Trophy shows 11 wickets in five games.
