Team India fast bowler Mohammed Shami said that he is ready for the role of captaincy in Test cricket, but stressed that the thought of leading the Indian team is not in his mind at the moment.
“I am not thinking too much about captaincy at the moment. I am ready for whatever responsibility is given to me. To be honest, who doesn’t want to captain the Indian team but it is not the only thing and I am looking to contribute in whichever manner possible for the team,” Mohammed Shami was quoted as saying by India.com.
