5 best performers in the 2016-17 Indian domestic season

Shahbaz Nadeem

Nadeem was another important figure in Jharkhand’s progress to the last four of the Ranji

51 wickets in the 2015-16 Ranji season followed by 56 wickets in the 2016-17 Ranji season, no bowler was better than Jharkhand’s Shahbaz Nadeem in the Indian domestic circuit in the last two seasons. Nadeem backed up his 56 wickets in the Ranji Trophy with outstanding performances in the other tournaments as well.

In the Vijay Hazare trophy, he accounted for 15 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 18 with an economy of 4.11. Nadeem is knocking the selectors’ door on a constant basis and is very unlucky to get into the Indian team, thanks to the presence of some good spinners.

If he continues the way he is bowling and makes headlines with it, the chances of him making his international debut in the near future will increase.
