“I was under tremendous pressure but now I feel relieved after BCCI cleared me of wrong-doing. I was hurt that my loyalty and commitment towards my nation was questioned. But I had full faith in BCCI’s investigation process. I am looking forward towards getting back on the field,” Shami told media today.
Shami quoted that the past two weeks have been really tough for him.
I had to go through a lot in the past 10-15 days. The charge of match fixing specifically brought me under tremendous pressure. I will channelize my anger in a positive way on the cricket field. This decision has given me courage and motivation to perform on the field. I will make my bowling do all the talking now in the coming days. This is a big win for me and I am hopeful that in the coming days I will also be cleared of the remaining charges, Shami later told ABP News.
I knew from within that I had done nothing wrong but was still scared that I might get framed. I can’t thank BCCI enough,” he said.
Shami will also dawn the Delhi Daredevils jersey and will set the ball rolling yet again in the upcoming IPL.
