Mohammed Shami has dismissed reports of his extra-marital affair false and said it was a conspiracy to ruin his game.

Shami, India's strike bowler in Test cricket, was playing the Deodhar Trophy in Dharamsala up until Tuesday. On the tour of South Africa, he played a starring role in India's historic victory in Johannesburg with a five-wicket haul.

A report in news agency ANI on Wednesday morning said Shami's wife has reportedly claimed that the sportsman is having an illicit affair.

"In a bid to expose the pacer's extra-marital affair, she posted several screenshots of Messenger and Whatsapp messages on her Facebook wall.

"Married to Shami since 2014, Hasin Jahan reportedly claimed that the bowler is having several extra-marital affairs simultaneously," the ANI report said. "Notably, the post, which was uploaded from an unverified account, was titled as 'Shami's enjoyment' and had several pictures of the pacer's text messages to multiple women."

"I was silent because he has been asking for a divorce for two years. He has been torturing me, he tried everything to make me leave him," Hasin Jahan told India Today.

"I was also tortured by his family every time I visited them.

In an interview with another network, Shami's wife claimed she has been "mentally and physically tortured."

"Shami forced me to put up that Facebook post.. I thought one day things would be fine but five years have gone by and things are worse now. I have been mentally and physically tortured," Jahan told ABP news.

"He returned from South Africa and booked a hotel room in Dubai and stayed there - I still tried to be patient despite all that.. I asked Shami what was happening but he kept lying repeatedly," she said. "He threatened me and said I would ruin my life, I'd make my life hell. I told him to say sorry, accept his faults and lead a better life."

"I tried to convince myself for the sake of my family and daughter but he kept on harassing me and when I found those obscene chats with multiple women, all hell broke. I cannot tolerate this anymore and I have decided to take legal actions with all the available evidence

I've done everything he wanted me to do. He has tortured me & hasn't treated me like his wife. He's a big flirt. I'm not going to divorce him till my last breath. I've all the evidences & will soon drag him to the court: Hasina Jahan, wife of cricketer Mohammad Shami in Kolkata pic.twitter.com/2fwydaKRfC ANI (@ANI) March 7, 2018

However, Shami, in a post on his Facebook page and Twitter handle, said the news was false and said it was a conspiracy to defame him.

"Hi. I'm Mohammad Shami.

"Ye jitna bhi news hamara personal life ke bare may chal raha hai, ye sab sarasar jhut hai, ye koi bahut bada humare khilap sajish hai or ye mujhe Badnam karne or mera game kharab karne ka kosis ki ja rahi hai," Shami said.

Meanwhile, Jahan's lawyer Zakir Hussain said she was still hoping Shami would change before taking any legal action.

"She is giving it some time. So we will wait a bit before taking any legal action," Hussain told IANS over phone
