Mohammed Shami’s wife alleges match fixing; took money from Pakistani citizen
Hasin Jahan, Mohammed Shami's wife, came up with new allegation on the Indian cricketer as she stated that the Bengal pacer took money from a Pakistani citizen for "match-fixing". In response, Shami not only denied the charges but also said he would rather die than fix a match.
Hasin Jahan had earlier made allegations against Shami about domestic violence and infidelity through social media. Later, the cricketer posted a tweet saying that all the charges were “absolutely false” and it was a “conspiracy” to ruin his career.

After the incident, BCCI had decided to withhold Shami's name from the official annual contracts list. Shami, who was in Dharamsala when his wife started targeting him, refused all the charges and seemed disappointed with the fixing charges.
"Hasin(wife) and her family have been saying that we will sit and talk out all issues, but I don't know who has been misleading her. As far as
“I am disappointed that I have been kept out of BCCI central contract list. I have not spoken to any BCCI official, but I hope they look into the matter properly.”
