Mohammed Shami’s Comeback: Indian team’s star bowler Mohammed Shami has been out of the team for a long time due to ankle surgery. He played his last match against Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup, which has been 11 months now. Shami underwent surgery immediately after the World Cup and since then he has been undergoing his rehab process. Meanwhile, big good news has come for his fans. Actually, Mohammed Shami is likely to return to competitive cricket for his domestic team Bengal in the Ranji Trophy. Not only this, after this he can also make a comeback on the international stage from the Test series to be played against New Zealand.
According to media reports, Mohammed Shami may play in Bengal’s Ranji match against UP on October 11 and against Bihar in Kolkata on October 18, but with only two days’ gap between the two matches, he will likely play only one match. The Test series against New Zealand will begin in Bengaluru on October 19, followed by Test matches in Pune (October 24) and Mumbai (November 1). It is expected that Shami will play in one of these Test matches so that he can be fully fit before the big tour of Australia.
Shami had undergone ankle surgery in the UK
Let us tell you that Shami underwent ankle surgery in the United Kingdom in February this year and has not played any competitive cricket since then. He was out for at least six months after the surgery. After a long gap of 11 months, Shami has started his training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and has shared a video of bowling with a low fast run-up on social media. However, he could not be available for the Duleep Trophy as the selectors did not want to take any risk regarding his fitness.
The BCCI’s priority is that India’s top three fast bowlers—Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj—be fully fit for the Australia tour. Shami has so far taken 229 wickets in 64 Test matches, including six five-wicket hauls and 12 four-wicket hauls.
