Shami wrote on Twitter: “Congratulations to my brother on your Vijay Hazare Trophy debut. We have waited for this moment. You are one step closer to the ultimate dream. Keep working hard.”
Kaif was also named in the Bengal squad for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last month. The bowler has played a few club matches before representing the senior Bengal side.
Noteworthy, Shami is currently recovering from the forearm injury that he suffered during India’s recent tour of Australia in the Adelaide Test.
