After Rohit-Virat, will this star's Test career also end? May be a setback before the England tour
Team India's two veteran players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli recently announced their retirement from Test cricket. They will not be a part of Team India on the England tour. Now it seems that the Test career of another star player of the Indian team is in danger. Actually, BCCI is soon going to select India's team squad for the five-match Test series against England.
According to media reports, it has been learned that the board may exclude fast bowler Mohammed Shami from the tour. If this happens, Shami's Test career may come to a complete halt.
After these two veterans, the Test career of another star player of the Indian team seems to be in danger.
Why is BCCI not wanting to take him on the England tour?
The BCCI medical team has told the Indian board that 34-year-old Shami may have difficulty bowling long spells at the moment. At the same time, the possibility of him playing all the five Test matches going forward is also less. This is the reason why the board is not wanting to take him on the tour.

According to a media agency, the selectors want to include fit bowlers in the Indian team, who can bowl long spells if needed.
The board source said, "Shami is bowling 4 overs for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. In England, fast bowlers may be asked for long spells and we cannot take any risk." Will Shami's Test career end?
BCCI is going to select India's team squad
Although Shami has been out of India's Test team for almost 2 years. He played his last Test against Australia in the final of the World Test Championship in June 2023. After that he got injured in the ODI World Cup 2023 and has been out of the Test team since then.
After the injury, he made a comeback in the T20 and ODI team this year.
Shami also played the Champions Trophy but his performance during this time was very ordinary. He did not appear in his old rhythm. Shami's performance in IPL 2025 has also been very poor. He has been able to take only 6 wickets in 9 matches this season.

Summary
During this, Mohammed Shami economy (11.23) was also very poor. Apart from performance, if we talk about the policy of BCCI, then it is moving towards building a new team with young players. Already veterans like Ashwin, Rohit and Virat have retired after their poor performance. In such a situation, if Shami is out of the England tour, then his return to the Test team will be difficult.
