The team unit is one of the best: Shami

After winning the Test series convincingly, Shami returned back home. He lauded the team effort and said that they know each other’s strength “It’s very good to win such a rare series. We will look to continue the momentum and perform well. It’s a team effort and we work in a unit. We are like a family and enjoy each other’s success,” Shami said. “There’s a good understanding among us. We know each other’s strengths,” Shami said. On coach Shastri, he said: “I’ve already said the support staff and the team unit is one of the best.” Shami along with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were rested for the limited overs series. “I try to give my 100 per cent and work on my strength which is swing and bowling reverse. But at the moment, I will spend time with my family and take rest. Then I will start practice.” he added.
