Will Mohammed Shami be discharged from England tour? A bad form can become the reason for being out
The Indian cricket team can be announced at any time for the upcoming England tour. On this tour, the team is also going to get a new Test captain as Rohit Sharma has retired from the Test format before this tour, while suspense has also remained for the selection of Mohammed Shami. Mohammed Shami’s form in IPL 2025 has been very poor, due to which selectors do not seem to be willing to include Mohammed Shami in the team for the England Test.
For the last three months, this fast bowler has been going through a very poor form. Ever since Shami returned internationally after injury, he has been seen faded. In such a situation, the selectors are not considering him as an automatic selection for the England series due to his poor performance and injury tendency in IPL 2025.
According to the Times of India, a BCCI source claimed that Shami is not automatic selection for the five -match series. The experienced fast bowler last played the Test in the final of the World Test Championship in 2023. The source said that Shami is not in rhythm at all and he is struggling to complete his run-up.
The source said, “At present, Shami’s selection is not getting automatic. It has been several months since he returned to international cricket, but he has hardly been able to get rhythm. While the IPL performance is not usually considered while selecting the Indian team, Shami is struggling to complete his run-ups and the ball is not going to the keeper, as he was able to go before the injury, he was always right after the injury of the tendon. Let’s go back to the dressing room for. “
Apart from this, the source further said that the initial plan was to ensure that the team could feed Bumrah or Shami in every Test. However, Bumrah is likely to play only two or three tests. The selectors are reportedly trying to understand what problem Shami is facing. Fast bowler’s poor form Shami has given 337 runs off 180 balls in IPL 2025 and his economy rate is 11.23. Fast bowlers have not been able to bowl continuously in terms of length and speed. Earlier in March, media reports said that the selectors would keep a close watch on Shami before taking a decision on the tour of England.
