Currently, Mohammed Shami is on a break from cricket. He was last seen in action at the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, where he was the top wicket-taker. But a medical issue meant that he was not available for the South Africa tour, and he will also end up missing the Afghanistan T20I series. While some reports claimed that he could even miss the first two Test matches against England, the fast bowler has revealed that he is training well and may be fit for the series.
Shami's last T20I came for India against England in the T20 World Cup last year. Since then, the veteran pacer hasn't been called up in the shortest format by the selectors.
Now, according to a report, the BCCI may soon hold a discussion with Mohammed Shami regarding his future plans.
According to a BCCI source, "There will be a discussion with Shami to know what he wants to do going forward.” He has taken on a lot of work in the last few years. This discussion was supposed to happen in South Africa. Since he didn't travel with the team, the management and selectors will talk to him very soon.”
"It has to be clear how much cricket he wants to play beyond the IPL and Test matches."
