A couple of days after his retirement, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla spoke on Shami's retirement. According to him, taking retirement from Tests was completely the fast bowler's own call, not influenced by the board.
All doors to reclaim a spot in the Test squad seemed to be closed for the experienced bowler when the panel of selectors, led by Ajit Agarkar, announced a squad for a Test series against West Indies without Mohammed Shami. When Ajit Agarkar was asked to shed some light on the future of the Bengal pacer, Agarkar told the reporters that he did not have enough input on the bowler's fitness status.
Mohammed Shami continued to shine despite fitness concerns
Despite repeated setbacks because of injuries, Shami started to show his true colours in domestic cricket for the Bengal state cricket team. He delivered a standout campaign for Bengal in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season, taking 37 wickets in 7 matches, including a 9-wicket haul against Jammu and Kashmir in the semi-final. Later, he played a major role behind East Zone's latest triumph in the Duleep Trophy as well.

"Mohammad Shami has announced his retirement from the Test career. I think it is his own decision. He played very well. His performance was very good. He was a very talented player, i.e., in Test and also in the Red Ball case. I think he is in the White Ball now," Rajeev Shukla said.
