Mohammed Shami is ready to make his grand comeback to cricket, and the good news for all fans is that he’s now “Shami pain free comeback”! After recovering from surgery earlier this year, the fast bowler has been training hard at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

Shami’s comeback plan: Aiming for top form in Australia
Speaking with Rev Sportz, Shami confidently stated that he’s feeling good and wants to be in peak condition before heading down under. “I am pain free now. I want to make sure I bowl enough before going to Australia. And for that, I’m targeting 1-2 Ranji games,” he shared. This will allow the experienced pacer to regain match fitness before the highly anticipated series against Australia.
Shami’s return couldn’t come at a better time for India’s bowling attack. After missing the entire IPL 2024 season and the second half of the 2023 World Cup, Shami has been itching to get back on the field. Recently seen bowling at full pace in Bengaluru, the 34-year-old looked sharp despite some strapping on his left knee. With Morne Morkel and India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar keeping a close eye, Shami appeared focused and ready for action.
When can we expect Shami back in action?
Shami has been sidelined since 2023, and despite rumors of knee troubles possibly delaying his comeback, he was quick to squash these claims on social media. The fast bowler assured his fans that he’s putting in the hard yards and is focused on returning as soon as possible. With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy approaching, Shami’s return to form will be a huge boost for India.
The team management, led by captain Rohit Sharma, is being cautious with Shami’s recovery. Rohit previously mentioned that they don’t want to rush Shami back before he’s fully ready. Given how important he is to India’s chances, the plan is to ease him back through Ranji matches before the big series against Australia.
