Detail
The Indian team’s fast bowler, Mohammed Shami, is undergoing rehabilitation (the process of recovery from injury) after ankle surgery. It is believed that he can return to competitive cricket for his domestic team, Bengal, in the Ranji Trophy. In such a situation, he is also likely to play in the Test Series against Bangladesh before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Meanwhile, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah has given a big update on the return of the experienced bowler.
A decision on fast bowler Mohammed Shami’s participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be held later this year will be taken after the report of the National Cricket Academy (NCA). BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said that India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami is making significant progress in recovering from an ankle injury. He is expected to be ready to participate in India’s domestic season starting with the Test series against Bangladesh in September. Shami is currently in the final stages of rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Shah said that Shami started bowling for the first time last month after the surgery, and now he is gradually increasing his bowling workload. He said that he was not in any pain. Shah said, “Whether Shami will play in the Australia Series or not is a matter of his fitness, and a decision will be taken after the NCA report.”
Recently, before the Indian team left for the Sri Lanka tour, chief selector Ajit Agarkar gave an update on Shami’s health and said that the fast bowler has started bowling and he would like to prepare himself fully before the first Test against Bangladesh starting in Chennai on September 19. Ajit Agarkar said: We more or less know who they are, some are injured at the moment, and hopefully they will come back. Shami has started bowling, which is a good sign. September 19 is the first Test, and this was always the target. I don’t know if this is his recovery time, we will have to ask the NCA people about this.
