‘I am ready to play …’ will play Mohammed Shami for LSG in IPL 2026? The fast bowler gave a shocking answer on the question of leaving SRH!

Mohammed shami ipl 2026 plan: Senior fast bowler of Indian cricket Mohammed Shami has been in the news for the past few hours. The reason for this is his impeccable interview. In which Shami was asked many questions related to retirement, exclusion of Asian Cup, personal life and IPL 2026 schemes.

Mohammed Shami was also asked a question related to playing for Lucknow Super Giants instead of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026. Which he has given a shocking reply. Let us know that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bought Shami for Rs 10 crore in IPL 2025 mega auction. However, his performance this season did not meet expectations.

Shami’s reply to IPL 2026

In a conversation with News 24, Mohammed Shami clearly said that his career is not in his hand, but depends on teams. He said, “Whatever team will pick up the paddle for me, I am ready to play for it. I have nothing in my hands. The festival of IPL cricket and people are entertainment. I am ready to play wherever I will call.”

This statement is seen as a sign of Mohammed Shami’s leaving SRH. Cricket pundits believe that if the LSG bid, he would like to play for his domestic state team.

Questions raised on form and fitness

IPL 2025 was very disappointing for Mohammed Shami. He took just 6 wickets in 9 matches and counted the least effective bowlers of the entire tournament. The speed of his balls decreased and his grip on the line-length also appeared weak. This was the reason that he was also dropped from the Test Series and Asia Cup 2025 against England.
