Shami is expected to return to the squad for the Bangladesh series, but it is unclear if he will play in the upcoming T20 World Cup...
Digital Desk: India veteran speedster Mohammed Shami is back in India after his ankle surgery. The Indian pacer claimed it would take some time to fully recover from his heel surgery and resume playing cricket.
Shami has been barred from cricket since the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he last played in the major event's final, which was held on November 19 at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. He was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
Shami took his ‘X’ formerly known as Twitter to inform fans about his arrival in India after the successful surgery.
“Grateful to be back in India after surgery. Feeling stronger and ready to embrace this next chapter. Thank you to everyone for your support and love!” tweeted Shami.
Shami missed the subsequent T20I home series against Australia and also the tour of South Africa and the recently concluded five-match Test series against England.
“Mohd Shami: The fast bowler successfully underwent surgery on February 26th, 2024, for his right heel problem. He is currently being monitored by the BCCI medical team and is ruled out of the upcoming TATA IPL 2024,” it said in a statement.
Shami is expected to return to the squad for the Bangladesh series, but it is unclear if he will play in the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is set to begin in June and take place in the USA and West Indies.
