Mohammed Shami Spotted Training Hard In Gym After ENG Vs IND Test Series Omission; Video

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami may have missed out on the upcoming India vs England Test series, but he isn’t slowing down. A recent video of Shami working out at the gym is winning hearts online. Even though he wasn’t picked for the five-match Test series, Shami is staying positive and fit.

Shami was left out of the Indian squad due to fitness issues. According to reports, he is recovering from an ankle injury and recently underwent scans. The selectors decided not to rush his return, giving more time for him to fully heal.

Many fans and former cricketers believe that Shami still has a lot to offer in Test cricket. With India’s pace attack now depending on players like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, the team will miss Shami’s experience during the tough English tour.

While he’s not in the squad this time, Shami’s dedication and training show that he is determined to return stronger and continue serving Indian cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar Intervenes To Preserve Pataudi Legacy In India–England Test Series: Reports

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar has reportedly played a key role in ensuring that the Pataudi legacy remains part of the India–England Test series, even after the recent decision to rename the trophy as the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy.

The Pataudi Trophy, introduced in 2007, was named in honour of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, one of India’s most respected Test captains, and his father Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who uniquely represented both England and India in Test cricket. The trophy symbolized a rich historical link between the two cricketing nations.

Recently, the BCCI and ECB decided to rename the trophy to honour Tendulkar and James Anderson, England’s highest wicket-taker in Tests. While the new name celebrates modern greats, many fans and experts felt it overlooked the historical significance of the Pataudi name.

Understanding the importance of tradition, Tendulkar personally reached out to senior officials in both boards and also had discussions with Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI and ICC chairman.

Tendulkar’s gesture has been widely praised as an act of humility and reverence for the game's history. It also highlights the importance of respecting cricket’s rich heritage even as the sport continues to evolve with new stars and achievements.
