Mohammed Shami's cousin and child coach of childhood jumped to his defense after a great controversy broke out after India's victory against Australia in the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday (March 4). Shami played a key role in the support of India to achieve the final of the mega tournament, since he was the choice of Indian bowlers in the KO game with a breathtaking magic of 3-48 in 10 over, belonging to Cooper Connolly, Steve Smith and Nathan Ellis.
A picture of Shami drinking water on the field became viral during the game and led to a large series while the game is played during the holy month of Ramadan. During this time, the observation usually keeps fasting, which during the day does not even include drinking water.
Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, President of the All India Muslim Jamaat, beat Shami because he did not watch 'Roza' and described him as a criminal. He triggered a storm by suggesting that Shami, because it is suitable for the game, is healthy to watch a fast.

“One of the obligatory duties is 'Roza' (fasting) … If a healthy man or a healthy woman 'Roza' does not watch, they will be a great criminal … a famous cricket personality of India, Mohammed Shami had water or another drink during a match. The people watched him.” Roza “, he has committed a crime.

Shamis cousin, Dr. Mumaz, however, quickly defended him and revealed that many players from the Pakistani Cricket team did not keep it quickly during the Champions Trophy.

“He plays for the country. There are many Pakistani players who have not kept 'Roza' and play games, so this is nothing new. It is very shameful that such things are said about him. We will say Mohammed Shami that he should not prepare these things for the game,” said Dr. Mumtaz said to Ani.

Shami's children's trainer Badaruddin Siddiqui also came to his defense and supported the legendary Indian Pacer and asked Shami to concentrate on the final and asked the people to stand with the Indian team.

“Whatever did Shami were absolutely right, and there is no need to pay attention to these things. He should concentrate on the final match and forget all of these things. He did not commit a crime, he did it all for the country. Personal things can be done later … I ask everyone, not to say such things and stand with the entire team,” said Siddiqui.

Shami was in a glowing form in the tournament with eight gates in four games. He started a tournament against Bangladesh with five winds. The 34-year-old is India's highest wicket truck in ICC tournament history.

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Shami leads India's pace attack. The team led by Rohit Sharma will compete against New Zealand in the final on Sunday (March 9).
