“The Team Needs A Leader” says Mohammed Shami

“Of course, the group requires a leader (in Test cricket). It’s a good thing our first series (under the new captain) will be at home (against Sri Lanka next month), as familiarity with the conditions will be beneficial “He stated.

Instead of worrying about who will be India’s next Test captain. He stated that his focus will be “on how I fare and how the bowling unit performs as a whole.”
