Indian pacer Mohammed Shami is preparing hard for his comeback to international cricket. Shami posted a picture of him practicing in the nets and through his caption, made it clear that he can’t wait to get back to playing for Team India. “Ball in hand and obsession in my heart, ready to turn the game.” Shami posted on X.
Shami’s last competitive cricket match was back in November when he played the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia in Ahmedabad. He may have ended up on the losing side in the final, but he still had a tournament to remember. He amazed fans and experts alike with his exceptional bowling performances. He racked up 24 wickets and was the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He took three 5-wicket hauls in the tournament with his best figures being 7/57 against New Zealand.
However, he then went on to miss the tour to South Africa and the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan in January. He then underwent a successful recovery for an Achilles tendon injury back in February, which caused him to miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the Gujarat Titans and the ICC T20 World Cup.
With 448 wickets in 188 international matches, including 11 five-wicket hauls, Shami is considered as one of the finest pacers of the modern era.
