Mohammed Shami couldn’t hold on to emotions after seeing daughter
Shami’s tumultuous phase meant that he is currently staying away from his family.
The last few months haven’t given Indian pacer Mohammed Shami much to cheer, both in cricketing career and his personal life. In March, he got tangled in a controversy with wife Hasin Jahan when the latter accused her husband of disloyalty, death threats. The matter to such an extent that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) withheld his annual contract.
A probe on the allegations was made by the Committee of Administrators, headed by Vinod Rai. However, to his relief, he was relieved of the match-fixing charges and was rewarded with a Grade-B contract. Meanwhile, Jahan didn’t drop the gun and approached the likes of CK Khanna, BCCI’s acting president and even contacted Mamata Banerjee, the Honorable Chief Minister of West Bengal.
Shami’s turbulent times
Shami went on to play for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League and couldn’t make any impact whatsoever with the leather. He also wasn’t a part of all the matches owing to his lackluster form. Nevertheless, despite his poor form he was selected in the national squad for their historic Test versus Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
However, fate had something else in store for the speedster as he failed to pass the much-debated yo-yo test. He was dropped and Navdeep Saini was roped in by the management as a replacement. India’s Test squad for their upcoming tour of England hasn’t been announced yet and Shami will be itching to stake his claim back in the team by clearing the mandatory test.
The Bengal-pacer has a daughter, born on July 17, 2015, and she will celebrate her third birthday next month. Shami’s tumultuous phase meant that he is currently staying away from his family. Recently, he saw his daughter and couldn’t hold his emotions back. The 28-year old bowler took to Instagram and posted a picture of her loved one.
He captioned the same and wrote, “I’m very happy to see you my heartbeat babo I love you ???????????? after 3 month ..long time,”
