Star Indian pacer Mohammed Shami on Tuesday firmly quashed rumours suggesting his imminent retirement from Test cricket. The speculation emerged after a report by an online news portal claimed that Shami was contemplating stepping away from the longest format in the wake of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s recent retirements.
Currently featuring for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing IPL 2025, Shami took to Instagram Stories to call out the publication. Sharing a screenshot of the speculative headline, ‘Mohammed Shami Retirement: After Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Indian Pacer Likely To Bid Adieu To Test Cricket’, the veteran pacer did not mince his words.
