Safonov and Batrakov included in the final squad of the Russian national team

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami officially announced his departure from the Test cricket format on Friday, November 6. He shared his feelings in an emotional social media post.

Shami stated that when he stepped onto the field in the Indian national team's white uniform, he dreamed of doing something for his country. Now, he is saying goodbye to this path, cherishing all the memories.

In his message, Shami wrote: 'I am leaving the white jersey, but I will never forget the memories associated with it.' He emphasized that Test cricket was not just a game format for him, but a very important part of his life. Every wicket he took, every struggle, injury, and return taught him a valuable lesson.

Tomorrow, November 7, matches of the main stage of the 'President's Cup of UFF – 2026/2027' competition between amateur teams will begin in the capital.
