In a significant update from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Secretary Jay Shah has shed light on the anticipated return of ace fast bowler Mohammed Shami to the national team.

Shami, who has been sidelined since the ODI World Cup last year due to an ankle injury, is expected to return during the home series against Bangladesh, which is scheduled to kick off in September. Shah disclosed that Shami’s surgery has been successfully completed, and the speedster is back in India, gearing up for his much-awaited return to the pitch.

Unfortunately for Shami, this comeback would rule him out of contention for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will take place in the West Indies and the USA in June. Having been an instrumental part of the Indian squad, with 24 wickets in the 2023 World Cup, Shami’s absence will undoubtedly be felt. However, the focus now lies on his rehabilitation and readiness for the upcoming series against Bangladesh.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah Provides Updates on Shami and Rahul’s Rehabilitation Progress

KL Rahul, another key player who missed action due to injury concerns, is also on the path to recovery. Shah revealed that Rahul needed an injection and has commenced rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). The talented batsman, who experienced pain in his right quadriceps, is expected to be fit for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), where he is set to lead the Lucknow Super Giants.

Shami’s road to recovery has garnered attention beyond the cricketing sphere, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi extending his well wishes. After Shami announced his heel surgery, PM Modi expressed confidence in the cricketer’s ability to overcome the setback. In response, Shami expressed gratitude for the unexpected personal note, highlighting the Prime Minister’s kindness and thoughtfulness during his recovery process.

As the cricketing community eagerly awaits Shami’s return, the focus on player fitness and rehabilitation becomes paramount. With the BCCI closely monitoring the progress of both Shami and Rahul, the anticipation is high for their successful comebacks, marking a crucial phase in Indian cricket.
