Mohammed Shami doubtful for England Test

Written By: Mobin

Mohammed Shami's England tour participation in jeopardy. Reports suggest he's struggling with run-up completion and ball carry post-injury.

Doubtful

BCCI source reveals Shami needs frequent dressing room breaks during spells. Achilles tendon injury from WC 2023 still affecting performance.

Concerns

Underwhelming IPL 2025 with just 6 wickets in 9 games (avg 56.16). SRH pacer looked shadow of his usual dominant self before tournament suspension.

IPL Form

Initial plan was to rotate Shami-Bumrah in 5-Test series. Now selectors worry about pace attack if both face fitness issues.

Selection Dilemma

42 wickets from 14 Tests in England (avg 40.50). Yet to take a 5-wicket haul on English soil despite experience.

England Record

Returned in T20Is vs England (3 wickets) and took 9 wickets in Champions Trophy 2025, including 5-fer against Bangladesh.

Recent Comeback

India's Test squad for England tour expected May 16. Big decisions await as Rohit retired and Kohli considering Test retirement.
