Mohammed Shami is not part of the five-match Test series against England as he is recovering from an injury. Recently, he criticized former Pakistan bowler Hasan Raza for his bizarre ‘ball change’ remark he made during the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Raza said that the reason why India were getting extra swing was because the International Cricket Council (ICC), umpire, or the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) were providing a different ball to the Indian bowlers. Raza said it after the India versus Sri Lanka match, played in Mumbai.

Shami did not mince his words while criticizing Raza for the bizarre claim. During a recent event, Shami said Raza was jealous of India’s performance that’s why he uttered those things.

Actually they have made cricket a joke because we don't enjoy each other's success. You become too happy when you are being praised, but when you lose, you feel that you have been cheated. You look at the records of the time we have been part of the team, you won't even find them close.
Shami told News18
Jalan toh puri dikhti hai wo. Itna jalane se kon se results mil jaane hain (Jealously is evident. You can never get good results with this amount of jealousy.
He added

The 33-year-old said the question was tough. But after pointing out the achievements of MS Dhoni, Shami called him the best. Dhoni led India to two World Cup titles and one Champions Trophy, and called his time on his international career in August 2020, but continues to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Shami was also asked to pick the world’s best batter at present. He called Virat Kohli the best batter while labeling Rohit Sharma as the most dangerous batter in the world.
