Maintaining the rhythm of the last six months will be enough for WTC Final, England Series: Mohammed Shami
Veteran India pacer Mohammad Shami found his "rhythm" during the now suspended IPL and feels the UK tour will be a successful one for the team if it can replicate the stellar performance of the last six months. India will leave for the UK on June 2 for three and half months during which they will play six Test matches starting with the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton from June 18, followed by five Tests against England starting August 4.
With the COVID-19 wreaking havoc across the globe, the soon-to-be 31-year-old Shami said that too much planning in these times is of no use.
"See, there is no point in planning too much as certain things are not in our control. Who would have thought that the pandemic would virtually destroy two years of our lives - hence I prefer to take it by each series or tournament as the case may be," the pacer told 'Gulf News'.
"We have played some extraordinary cricket in recent times as a unit and naturally, the confidence level is high on the eve of our departure for England.
"It comes automatically as after being in international cricket for so many years, I would like to share any input that the youngsters may want. I am not going to play forever, so it will be great if I can pass on something to the youngsters," Shami said
