India's bowling coach Morne Morkel has praised Mohammed Shami following the veteran pacer's retirement from Test cricket. Morkel credited Shami for easing his transition into the national team's coaching staff by helping him navigate the squad's culture and communication styles.
Although their professional collaboration was limited, Morkel noted that Shami's influence within the dressing room was significant during their time together.
Shami concludes his 12-year Test career with 229 wickets across 64 appearances, alongside 462 total international scalps. While he is stepping away from the longest format, the 36-year-old plans to continue competing in white-ball domestic matches and the Indian Premier League.
Morkel expressed his approval of Shami's ongoing dedication to maintaining his bowling workload in domestic cricket.
