'I’m In No Hurry': Shami Eyes Ranji Trophy Return Before Taking India Assignment
ODI World Cup: Indian pace spearhead Mohammed Shami is steadily working towards a return to competitive cricket after being sidelined due to an ankle injury that has kept him out of action since November last year. As he focuses on regaining full fitness, Shami is eyeing a return to domestic cricket with Bengal in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
The 34-year-old, who had played through the 2023 ODI World Cup despite his injury, where he was instrumental in India’s campaign by taking 24 wickets at an astonishing average of 10.70, is now prioritising his health. After undergoing surgery in February in London, Shami has been working on his recovery at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Shami bowled for more than an hour at full tilt in the nets after the conclusion of India’s first Test against New Zealand at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. With heavy strapping on his left knee, he bowled under the watchful eyes of bowling coach Morne Morkel and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. Despite the rigorous session, Shami reported no discomfort and expressed confidence in his progress.
