Seasoned pacer’s form a concern for India as England tour nears

0
As India wrapped up an unbeaten campaign to seal the title, Shami finished with nine wickets under his belt. However, the 34-year-old’s recent form in the ongoing IPL 2025 season will give India a cause to worry for the tour of England, believes former India opener Aakash Chopra.

"He's not looking good," Chopra told ESPN Cricinfo, elaborating on how the right-arm quick hasn’t been able to make an impact since his return to competitive cricket.

"That's a big question there, no, because it's not like he came back from an injury last week or last month. He started playing domestic cricket last year and this is May already.

“He's played an ICC event [Champions Trophy] in between. He's played a lot of games. If he's still off the boil, and that has something to do with the injury - and we're all assuming that it is - then there is a serious question mark with regards to what happens next.”
