Mohammed Shami returned with a stellar performance in the Ranji Trophy after almost a year. After his Bengal team won against Madhya Pradesh, there was talk of sending him to Australia. According to media reports, he will be able to join the Indian team before the second Test. Meanwhile, a new problem has happened to him and he seems to be in trouble. In fact, one person has accused him of fraud. He claims that Shami has hidden his age. He also demanded the BCCI to investigate and take action. In such a situation, doubts arise whether Shami will be able to go to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy or not. Let us know the whole thing.
Did Shami cheat?
Mohammed Shami has been the victim of many allegations in the recent past. His wife, Hasin Jahan, had also made serious allegations, including domestic violence and match-fixing. However, the BCCI has given them a clear trap regarding redress. Now they accuse him of hiding his age for 8 years. A person shared the image of the driving license on social media and claimed that it is Shami’s, according to which his age is 42, while Shami’s current official age is 34 years.

Following this claim by the person, the image is going viral. However, it is still unclear whether this image and the information it contains are genuine or whether they have been edited and published. There has been no reaction in this regard from either Shami or the BCCI. Let us tell you that before this many celebrities have been victims of edited photos and videos.
BCCI has suspended
Many times Indian cricketers cheat on their age. Usually during Under-19 matches, players declare their age one or two years younger to be selected for the team. While in India it is considered a serious crime. If any cricketer does this, action can be taken against him. The BCCI is very strict about this and has already banned many players.
Amazing performance by Shami
The Ranji Trophy match was played between Madhya Pradesh and Bengal in Indore. During this, Shami completed all 4 days of the match without any problem. He took 4 wickets in the first innings. He also performed strongly in the second innings and led the team to a thrilling 11-run victory. Shami had already taken 2 wickets in the second innings for Bengal, who were defending 338 runs against Madhya Pradesh. In the end 14 runs were needed but only one wicket remained. After this, Shami showed his magic and took the last wicket and gave Bengal a thrilling 11-run victory. According to media reports, he could leave for Australia with Rohit Sharma for the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
