Shami sustained minor injuries and got a few stitches on his head. He is out of danger and recuperating in Dehradun. The 27-year-old Shami trained for two days at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy (ACA), run by Bengal batsman and India ‘A’ player Abhimanyu Easwaran’s father in Dehradun to rejuvenate himself mentally and physically. He had claimed that he has been under “mental tourture” after his wife Hasin Jahan lodged a complaint of domestic violence and infidelity against him. Shami has denied all the allegations.
Shami has been booked under various non-bailable, including an attempt to murder, and bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code. Jahan has also alleged that Shami had taken money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba on the insistence of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai.
A few days back, the BCCI had cleared Shami’s central contract after its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) exonerated him of corruption charges levelled by his wife Jahan. Shami has been given a Grade ‘B’ annual contract, which will make him richer by Rs 3 crore. He will also be free to play in the Indian Premier League for his franchise the Delhi Daredevils, starting April 7.
