Mohammed Shami the Gujarat Titans pacer was one of the retained players by the franchise ahead of IPL 2024 auction. The franchise traded their skipper Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians, on the retention day which is the biggest news regarding the upcoming IL season so far.
Gujarat Titans CEO Arvinder Singh revealed details of a possible trade deal that could have ended Shami’s stay with the Titans. He spoke about how a particular IPL franchise had recently asked the pacer to join their team without the knowledge of the BCCI. He did not reveal the name of the franchise in his interaction.
Mohammed Shami Is A Very Important Part Of Our Team: Gujarat Titans CEO Arvinder Singh
“See, every team has the right to take good players to make their team stronger. Mohammed Shami has done well for us, won the purple cap holder last season, he performed well in the World Cup. He is a very important part of our team. The wrong thing is when some franchises directly approach players. The BCCI has made a procedure for trading. There is an expression of interest that goes to BCCI and it is subsequently shared to the concerned franchise, who can then they take a call whether to go on with the trade or not,” Singh said in a News 18 interview.
