While Mohammed Shami had a sub-par IPL 2025 season with Gujarat Titans and also a surprise snub from India's tour of England, the ace veteran couldn't be stopped from enjoying some quality time with his family.

Mohammed Shami was seen embracing family time in a heart-warming backyard cricket session. A video shared by Shami himself on his official Instagram handle saw the senior fast bowler bowling with his familiar smooth action in a backyard setting.
