Mohammad Shami injury update
In a fresh blow for the Indian cricket team, pacer Mohammed Shami has been injured during his rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). As per Times of India, the bowler developed swelling in his knees while he was recovering from his injury, leading to a delay in his highly-anticipated comeback.
A BCCI source said, “Shami had resumed bowling and was on trak to make his return to competitive cricket soon. But his knee injury has flared up recently. BCCI’s medical team is assessing the injury but it may require a bit of time,” Mohammad Shami has been sidelined since the 2023 World Cup due to ankle surgery.
The pacer recently expressed his dedication to making a comeback while emphasising the importance of not rushing his recovery to avoid re-injury.` Shami began bowling again in July for the first time post-surgery and has been gradually increasing his workload without experiencing any pain.
Looking ahead to India’s upcoming matches in the second leg of the World Test Championship (WTC), Shami made it clear that he won’t take any risks until he feels fully fit.
“Returning stronger is key for me. I don’t want to rush and risk getting injured again, whether it’s against Bangladesh, New Zealand, or Australia. I’ve started bowling, but I won’t take any chances until I’m completely fit,” he explained.
He also expressed his willingness to play domestic cricket if needed to test his fitness, emphasizing that being fully prepared for whatever comes next, regardless of the opponent or format, is his main goal.
