Cricket player Mohammed Shami was criticized by a Muslim clergy The match took place during the current holy month of Ramzan, who is observed by Muslims as a time of fasting. Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi called Shami a “criminal” because he had skipped fasting, and explained that it was a sin and versed against religious principles.

In a video declaration, Barelvi said: “Fasting is a duty in Islam. If someone deliberately skips fasting, they are sinners. Cricket player Mohammed Shami has also not watched fasting. He has committed a sin. He is a criminal.” His comments triggered reactions from religious figures, with some dissatisfaction with Shami's decision to drink juice during the game.

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, President of the All India Muslim Jamaat, condemned Shami's actions. “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 game. He watched it.

Mohammed Shamis coach Mohammed Badruddin defended him against the criticism of the Muslim clergy and said the cricket player was not to blame and has the support of the nation. He asked the clergymen to prioritize the country primarily and said: “Desh Ke aage Kuch Nahin (Nothing comes before the nation). “

NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar also reacted to the controversy, defended Mohammed Shami and emphasized that religion should not be associated with sport.

He praised Shami as a committed player who led India several times to victory and explained if Shami had the feeling that fasting could even easily influence his performance, he would not be able to sleep. Pawar added: “He is a hardcore person who often lets the team win. Religion should not be brought up in sport, and if you ask a Muslim today, you will say that you are proud of Mohammed Shami.”

India defeated Australia with four gates to enter the final of the Champions Trophy. Australia decided to hit first after winning the throw. Under the direction of Shami, the Indian bowling attack was limited to Australia to 264. The Ass bowler took three gates in its quota of 10 over and only gave 48 runs.
