India speedster Mohammed Shami on Saturday revealed that he contemplated committing suicide at least thrice when he was enduring a difficult phase of his life in 2018.
Shami faced allegations of domestic violence and was booked after his wife Hasin Jahan lodged compliant against him.
"During that period there was also personal crisis in my life. You won't believe it but I contemplated committing suicide three times during that period," Shami told his India teammate Rohit Shrama during an Instagram live session.
"My family members were worried that I might end up doing something drastic. I was just not able to thing about cricket at that point."
