Mohammed Shamir Khan

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, President of the All India Muslim Jamat, dubbed Mohammed Shami a "criminal" for not observing Roza during India's clash with Australia on Tuesday.

The Maulana said that 'Roza' is considered a compulsory duty and any healthy man or woman not observing the fast will be seen as a "big criminal" under Shariat.

Shami said his workload is heavier without Bumrah steaming in at the other end but he is trying to give more than a 100 per cent to the role.

The body language of the players during the training session on Friday suggested that India are likely to give Shami a much-needed break before all important semi-finals.

Mohammed Shami started off with a five-for against Bangladesh. So, when he left the field on Sunday, alarm bells rang.
