Mohammed Shami's future in Indian cricket is uncertain at the moment. Mohammed Shami, who was once a fiery force for India across the formats, has been left out of every major series this year, including the Test series in England, the ODI tour of Australia, the home Test series against the West Indies, and now the ongoing Test series against South Africa.
At the age of 35, Shami might have played his last match for India. Amidst the speculations over Shami's India and IPL future, former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn revealed that he had strongly pushed for Shami to be brought into the team during his stints as Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling coach, but his requests were ignored.
Mohammed Shami's future in doubt despite domestic cricket heroicsShami eventually joined the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 after Steyn left, but now even SRH is all but confirmed to release the Indian bowler ahead of the 2026 auction. Despite recent struggles with form and fitness, Shami has made a brilliant comeback in domestic cricket.
