Mohammed Shami unlikely for England Test series; ability to bowl long spells a concern
- Mohammed Shami is expected to be left out of India's squad for the Test series in England, which is set to begin on June 20, 2025, at Headingley.
- Selectors doubt Shami’s ability to bowl long spells required on English pitches, partly due to recent injuries and limited bowling workload in IPL 2025.
- Shami has played 64 Tests with 229 wickets and last appeared in the 2023 World Test Championship final, but has had fitness setbacks including ankle surgery in 2024.
- BCCI medical staff and selectors emphasize caution, with a source stating "we can't take chances" and expressing uncertainty if Shami can bowl more than 10 overs in a day.
- His omission could open opportunities for bowlers like Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj as BCCI builds a new Test team after retirements of senior players.
