One of the best fast bowlers currently playing in international cricket is Mohammed Shami. Experts from all over the world have praised his upright seam position and ability to make the ball dance to his songs. While the right-arm pacer has experienced some great moments on the field, life hasn’t always been simple for the gifted fast bowler off the field.
Notably, on March 8, 2018, Haseen Jahan, Mohammed Shami wife, reported her husband, her brother-in-law, and other in-laws to the Jadavpur Police Station for allegedly torturing and treating her cruelly. The defendant was hit with a number of charges.
In a similar way, Shami showed up in front of the court on September 20. The pacer’s lawyer had pleaded for bail during the proceedings. The judge decided to allow Shami and his brother bail in the five-year-old case after hearing his argument. For the 33-year-old, who is scheduled to play in his third ODI World Cup next month in India, this will be a big relief.
“Mohammed Shami and his brother are the subjects of a charging sheet from the police. According to the law, the accused must show up in court when the charge sheet is filed and ask for bail for self-defense. As a result, we made a bail prayer and appeared in court today. Both of the siblings have been given bail by the court. As required by law, Shami will now take part in the forthcoming court processes in this case. The Telegraph cited Salim Rahaman, Shami’s attorney, as stating
Only two games were played by Mohammed Shami in the 2023 Asia Cup.
Speaking of on-field cricket action, Team India won the Asia Cup last week after defeating Sri Lanka in the championship match in Colombo, extending their winning streak to an unprecedented eighth time. The ‘Men in Blue’ performed admirably throughout the competition, dropping only a minor match against Bangladesh while resting several of their star players.
Mohammed Shami, the Indian bowler who has taken 100 and 150 ODI wickets most quickly, was anticipated to be a key player in the recently finished Asia Cup 2023. However, India chose to enter the match with just two frontline seamers and three all-rounders, hence he only participated in two games against Nepal and Bangladesh. Depending on the circumstances, Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel were switched out. Many observers were taken aback by this decision since they thought India should have kept Shami in the starting XI due to his proclivity for taking wickets.
The three-match ODI series against Australia that comes before the ODI World Cup may give the Amroha-born player a few opportunities to play. When Rohit Sharma and company face Australia in their opening game of the championship tournament on October 8, it might be his chance to stake a claim for himself and return to the mix for a berth in the starting XI.
