Team India
The BCCI has now moved in the new direction. Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara may not have retired from Test cricket yet, but it is almost sure that their return is not seen now. It is believed that when the BCCI asked Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma not to join the Test team, they thought it better to retire officially. So does this mean that it can be another retirement late in the morning. This is the hope.
Now there is no place for aged players in Team India
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement has decided that there is no place in Team India for the aged players. Now the Indian team is entering a new era, where all the players will be young and their fitness level will also be the top class. During the Australia series, when Ravichandran Ashwin announced retirement, such a thing started to be understood at the same time. But now Kohli and Rohit have stamped it. So can another player take retirement soon. We are talking about Mohammed Shami.
Mohammed Shami may also be discharged soon
Mohammed Shami is now around 34 years old. He will turn 35 in September this year. He played his last Test match in June 2023. However, during the ODI of 2023 ODIs, Shami was badly injured and it took him two years to overcome it. It was expected that when the Test series was going on between India and Australia, they would leave in some of the last few matches, but it did not happen. He got a return to the Champions Trophy and showed a wonderful game there and is now playing IPL.
Team India’s announcement will be seen for England series
Now it will be interesting to see if Mohammed Shami is made part of the Test team going to England or not. If they join the team, then it should be understood that they can continue to play now, if they are not included in the team, then there is a strong message for them to announce retirement. However, even if he goes to England, he might not get a chance to play for a long time. That is, now Shami’s last few days of Test career are going on.
