Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has given fans a reason to cheer by sharing an exciting fitness update. After being sidelined since the 2023 World Cup final due to injury concerns, Shami has been steadily working his way back through domestic cricket. Despite limited appearances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, his performances in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he claimed 11 wickets in 9 matches, have kept him in the spotlight.
Shami’s Comeback Journey
Speculation around Shami’s return to international cricket had grown during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but no official clarity emerged from the BCCI or the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Even Indian captain Rohit Sharma commented on the lack of updates, urging the NCA to provide clarity.
However, Shami has taken matters into his own hands, posting a video of himself bowling at full throttle with the caption, “Precision, Pace, and Passion, All Set to Take on the World! 🌍💪”. This post has fueled hope among fans that he may return to the Indian squad in time for the 2025 Champions Trophy.
