5 current Indian cricketers with poor disciplinary record

3. Mohammed Shami

Back in 2018, Mohammed Shami’s cricket career was on the verge of going into the doldrums. His estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, charged him with domestic violence and an attempt to murder. Shami was thereafter charged under sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The serious allegations resulted in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) upholding his central contract until he was cleared of all the charges. Shami’s IPL career was also in doubt due to the controversy.

However, later in March, he was given a ‘Grade B’ contract after the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) couldn’t find enough evidence against him. In September 2019, an arrest warrant was released against him and he was given 15 days by a Kolkata court to appear before it.

However, it didn’t seem to have affected his career and journey on the field. Shami is currently one of India’s most lethal weapons at the highest level, especially in Test cricket.
