India renews Mohammad Shami contract after violence charge

    India’s cricket board has renewed Mohammad Shami’s contract after charges against him alleged by his estranged wife were cleared.

    Hasin Jahan accused him of corruption, domestic violence and adultery. Shami’s contract was put on hold until the resolution of the charges levelled against him.

    He has denied all the allegations against him and The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now said an internal investigation cleared Shami of the corruption charges made against him.

    The BCCI did not mention the other charges made against the cricketer.

    He will also be free to represent his team, the Delhi Daredevils, at the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament which is due to start in April.
