Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif questioned pacer Mohammad Shami's exclusion from India's squad for the ODI series against South Africa. "I am not ready to accept it," he said. Kaif added, "Whenever Shami is playing, he is taking wickets. He is a once-in-a-generation player, not that far from Jasprit Bumrah. He took 24 wickets in the ODI World Cup 2023."
