WTC final: Reproducing good form of last 6 months will guarantee great English Summer, says Mohammed Shami

India pacer Mohammed Shami has said that India will have to reproduce their performance of the past six months to ensure positive results in the upcoming England tour. India will face New Zealand in the World Test Championship (WTC) final before playing a 5-Test series against England.

Senior India pacer Mohammed Shami found his "rhythm" during the now-postponed IPL and feels the that the England tour will be a successful one for the team if they are able to replicate their stellar performances of the last six months. India will leave for the UK on June 2 for the three-and-a-half-month-long tour 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 Joe Root's England starting August 4. With the Covid-19 wreaking havoc across the globe, the 30-year-old Shami said that too much of 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''.
