Apr 5, 2026, 3:53 PM Shami rubbishes rumors of retirementIndian pacer Mohammed Shami has stated that he is not considering retiring from cricket at this time, citing the tendency for such ideas to demotivate a person. Shami, who hasn't played for India in over a year, made it clear that he won't quit the sport unless he gets bored and exhausted while participating.BCCI selectors have not included him in their plans for the Indian team despite Shami performing well for Bengal in domestic cricket. Shami took 67 wickets in the Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy during the 2025-26 season."When I get tired, I will call it a day. But I am not even thinking of retirement right now because such thoughts pull you down. If this thought crosses your mind, it means you are already tired. And if you are tired, it means you are bored. And I have said this earlier, too. I will leave cricket the day I wake up and decide to get bored. So yeah, the day I feel lazy or get bored, I will leave," Shami said on the Shubhankar Mishra podcast.After taking just six wickets in nine games the previous season, Shami is now playing for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2026.Also Read: Not Sanjiv Goenka!
