Why did BCCI not name Mohammed Shami for Duleep Trophy despite Agarkar's subtle 'Bangladesh Tests' hint on return

Hindustan Times  

BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar had dropped a subtle hint earlier last month that Mohammed Shami could make the Indian squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which begins on September 19. However, unlike most India hopefuls for the Test series, Shami was not named for the impending Duleep Trophy, which will mark the beginning of the red-ball domestic season in the country. For the selectors, their priority is have India's top three pacers - Jasprit Bumrah, Shami and Mohammed Siraj - fit for the five Tests in Australia later this year. Shami's return date set Although he is most ruled out of the Test series against Bangladesh, Shami will be back in competitive action for a few matches for Bengal in the in upcoming Ranji Trophy tournament, which will kickoff in October, before playing one of the three Tests against New Zealand.
