India fast bowler Mohammad Shami has announced his retirement from Test cricket, bringing an end to his red-ball career. The news has drawn reactions from across the cricket world.
The 34-year-old pacer, who made his Test debut in 2013, played 64 matches for India and claimed 229 wickets at an average of 27.71. Shami was known for his ability to generate reverse swing and his effectiveness with both new and old ball.
His retirement comes after a period of injury management following the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he was India's leading wicket-taker with 24 scalps. Shami is expected to continue playing white-ball cricket for India and in franchise leagues.
