In a shocking development that has sent waves through the international cricket community, veteran Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has officially announced his retirement from Test cricket. This decision brings a definitive end to his illustrious 13-year career in the longest and most demanding format of the game. Shami confirmed that while he is stepping away from red-ball duties, he will remain available for shorter white-ball formats. The announcement drew immediate reactions from former India head coach Ravi Shastri, who expressed deep disappointment, stating that the lethal pacer still had plenty of red-ball cricket left in him to support the national squad.
