Shami ends his Test career with 229 wickets in 64 matches, but says he will continue playing white-ball cricket.
India fast bowler Mohammed Shami has announced his retirement from Test cricket in an Instagram video, ending a career in the format that began against West Indies at Eden Gardens on 6 November 2013. His last Test was against Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship final at The Oval.
Shami finished with 229 wickets in 64 Tests, making him India’s sixth-highest wicket-taking fast bowler in the format. His bowling average was 27.71 runs per wicket, and he took at least five wickets in an innings on 6 occasions.
Injuries disrupted Shami’s career after his last Test, although he remained part of India’s white-ball team, DW said. White-ball cricket refers to the shorter formats of the game, while Tests can last up to five days.
Shami said he would continue playing white-ball cricket and could occasionally play four-day matches.
The association also ended the contracts of Hassan’s staff and appointed Ceramica Cleopatra manager Ali Maher to lead the national team.
