Senior India pacer Mohammed Shami‘s name does not feature in the list of players awarded new central contracts by the BCCI on Wednesday.

The BCCI announced a new system of central contracts of the Indian men’s and women’s teams.

Reports suggest Shami’s name has been withheld from the list due to the allegations of extra-marital affairs and domestic abuse by his wife Hasin Jahan.

The Indian pacer’s wife leaked unverified details about alleged conversations between Shami and various women on social media.

Hasin has filed a police complaint against Shami and his family with Kolkata Police.

Shami put out a statement denying any wrongdoing.

“Hi, I am Mohammed Shami. All recent stories about my personal life doing the rounds are absolutely false. This is a conspiracy to defame me and ruin my playing career,” Shami’s post, in Hindi, read.

The 27-year-old pacer was a part of India’s pace attack in the recently concluded three-match Test series against South Africa where he picked up 15 wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the visitors’ victory in the final Test at Johannesburg.
