New Delhi: There are many perks of playing for the Indian cricket team but the low side is that you have to celebrate festivals and other big occasions without your family.

Mohammad Shami boarded the flight for West Indies on Tuesday, a night before India would be celebrating the festival of Eid.

Eid is the biggest festival for Muslims but Shami would be thousands of kilometers away from his family and friends.

However, he did not forget to wish everyone a happy and peaceful Eid through a video posted by the BCCI on its Twitter handle.
