US EditionMohammed Shami unlikely for England Test series; ability to bowl long spells a concern
- Mohammed Shami is unlikely to be selected for India's five-match Test series against England starting June 20, 2025, in England.
- India's cricket selectors and medical team have reservations about Shami's capacity to sustain the extended bowling workloads expected in England, citing recent concerns over his fitness and form.
- Shami has struggled this IPL season with only six wickets in nine matches and an economy rate of 11.23, while bowling just four overs per game for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
- The BCCI medical team stated that Shami, aged 34, is not fit to sustain high workloads, prompting selectors to prefer younger, fully fit bowlers such as Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj.
- Shami's omission signals a shift towards rebuilding the Indian Test squad after key retirements, with selectors preparing a new team to strengthen India in upcoming years.
