Mohammed Shami slams wife's match-fixing allegations

The problems don’t seem to stop for Team India pacer Mohammed Shami after his wife Hasin Jahan accused him of having extra-marital affairs, torture, attempt to murder and even match-fixing. Jahan, who got married to the UP-born speedster in 2014, registered a complaint against him with the Kolkata police on Thursday (March 8).

Previously on Wednesday (March 7), in a series of posts on Facebook and WhatsApp chats, Jahan accused Shami of cheating on her. Even though her account was deactivated after that, the messages she shared have gone viral on social media. She also alleged that the Bengal pacer took money from a Pakistani woman by the name of Alishba under the influence of England-based businessman Mohammed Bhai.

“If Mohammed Shami can cheat me then he can cheat the country as well. He accepted money from a Pakistani girl named Alisbah in Dubai. He agreed to accept it after the insistence of England-based Mohammed Bhai. I have proof,” she was quoted saying to ABP.

Shami’s defence

The cricketer in his defence, on Thursday, dismissed all the allegation against and lashed out at his wife saying that she has “lost her mental balance”. He had also tweeted earlier, saying that these allegations are all false and an attempt to malign him and destroy his career.

“She has lost her mental stability. She has to prove all the allegations made against me. If I have tortured her then she needs to prove it.” said Shami addressing a press conference.

The cricketer said that the entire incident has mentally disturbed him and he is ready to take legal action against his wife.

“The entire episode is disturbing.  I don’t know what she is up to. She needs to explain what has changed so much in these few days. She is suddenly leveling all these accusations on me. She is accusing of harassment. She is even accusing me of match-fixing. I think she has lost her mental balance or it might be her game plan to sabotage my career,” he added.

Will take legal action

“I will also take legal action against her. Me and my family always wanted to stay with her. I have always loved her. You have seen that how happy we were in the interview. But I feel she is planning something evil.”

His central contract, which was announced just a day after the series of posts published by the wife, was withheld by BCCI due to the ongoing issue. However, Shami said that he has full faith on the cricket board and is hopeful they will investigate and then take a call.

“As far as cricket is concerned, I trust the BCCI will check this matter with their legal team and then take a decision on my contract. They must have thought about it before taking this decision,” Shami said.
