India Hopes To Have Shami Fit In Time For Bangladesh Tests: Report

ODI World Cup: Indian team is hoping that fast-bowler Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since last year’s ODI World Cup, is fully fit in time for the two-match home Test series against Bangladesh starting from September 19 in Chennai.

Shami was the highest wicket-taker in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, by picking 24 scalps in just seven games. It also included him taking 7-57 against New Zealand in the semi-final at Mumbai, with a five-for against the same team at Dharamshala and four-fer against England at Lucknow being other standout performances.

But Shami was kept out of action since then due to a right heel issue, causing him to miss South Africa away tour and home Tests against England, as well as IPL 2024. He then successfully underwent a surgery on February 26 this year, and has been at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru since then for his long rehabilitation process.
