His father, Tausif Ali Ahmed was also an aspiring fast bowler but couldn’t make it beyond Amroha. Shami’s elder brother, Haseeb Ahmad also followed his father’s footsteps but was diagnosed with kidney stones a day before trials for the Uttar Pradesh under-19 team, forcing him to quit cricket. 2
His elder brother, Mohammed Haseeb Ahmad is married to Shama Parveen and the couple has 3 daughters: Yumna Fatima, Amirah Fatima, and Anavia Fatima.
His younger brother, Mohammed Kaif is also a cricketer and has played two List A matches for Bengal in the 2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy. 3 4
Shami studied at Amir Hasan Khan P.G. College in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, until Class 10. After that, he discontinued his studies to focus on his cricket career. 5
He faced numerous rejections while trying out for the Uttar Pradesh under-19 team so his coach Badruddin Siddique sent him to Kolkata at the age of 16. 2
Shami was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2011 but made his IPL debut for KKR against Rajasthan Royals on 8 April 2013 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. 6
Mohammed Shami met Hasin Jahan for the first time during the 2012 Indian Premier League (IPL), where Jahan was employed as a cheerleader for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

In March 2018, Mohammed Shami’s ex-wife, Hasin Jahan, shared numerous screenshots of alleged WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger conversations involving Shami and multiple women on her Facebook wall. She also accused Shami of receiving money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba at the behest of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai. Jahan lodged a complaint at the Jadavpur police station, leveling charges of domestic violence, infidelity, attempted murder, and marital rape against Shami.
In response, Shami vehemently denied all the allegations on both his Facebook page and Twitter handle. He asserted that the accusations were part of a conspiracy designed to damage his reputation. 8 9
