Shami Says Retirement Is Not On His Mind
Mohammed Shami has said retirement is not on his mind despite being out of India’s national setup for an extended period. The veteran fast bowler said he will only step away from the game when he no longer enjoys playing, making it clear that selection setbacks have not changed his mindset.
Mohammed Shami Retirement Remark
Shami said he would quit cricket only when he feels “bored”, stressing that he is neither tired of the sport nor thinking about retirement at this stage. The 35-year-old said such thoughts can affect a player mentally, and added that he still feels motivated and satisfied by the game.
India Selection Snub And Domestic Form
The pacer has remained out of the national team despite returning to full fitness. During that period, he also produced strong performances in domestic cricket, which kept attention on his absence from India’s plans.
Shami Focused On IPL Performances
Now playing in the IPL, Shami said his focus remains on fulfilling his role as a bowler and giving his full effort for his franchise. He said selection is not something he can control, but performance and preparation remain fully in his hands. The remarks suggest Shami is concentrating on staying match-ready rather than speculating about the end of his career.
