#5 On longevity
Having made both his Test and ODI debut in 2013, it has already been five years since Shami has been playing international cricket. Considering that he is 27 years old, he easily has another five years of cricket left in him.
But we all know that Shami does not possess a very athletic body. His recurring injuries frequently keep him out of the game.

In such a scenario, understanding his limitations and working accordingly may lead him to play an extra couple of years of international cricket.
