You do not choose me, do not feed me, I don’t mind. I will keep working hard. ‘
Ready to play in domestic cricket too Shami also clarified that if he does not get a chance in international cricket, he will continue to play domestic cricket. He said, ‘If you do not choose me in international matches, then I will play domestic cricket. I will keep playing somewhere. A decision like retirement is taken when you feel that you are bored, when you do not want to get up for a Test match at 7 am. But that time has not come for me yet. If you want, I will get up at 5 in the morning and get ready. ‘
Incomplete dream of winning ODI World Cup Shami said that his biggest goal is to win the ODI World Cup, which is his only incomplete dream. Reminding India’s reaching the finals of India in the 2023 World Cup, he said, ‘I have only one dream, that is to win the ODI World Cup. We were very close in 2023. We were confident, but there was also fear in the knockout stage. The enthusiasm and support of the fans inspired us. Perhaps I was not lucky at that time, but I want to be there in 2027.
Hard work on fitness Shami also spoke openly on her fitness. Despite suffering injuries in recent times, he has worked hard on his fitness in the last two months.

My focus is on achieving rhythm and putting long spells. ‘
As long as love is, I will keep playing Shami kept her point firmly and said that her love for cricket is not over yet. He said, ‘I still love cricket. The day this passion ends, I will leave the field myself.
