Mohammed Shami is currently on a recovery phase and he will miss the whole season of Indian premier League.
New Delhi: India veteran speedster Mohammed Shami is back in India after his ankle surgery. The Indian pacer underwent a successful surgery on his heel to repair his Achilles tendon and said he would need time to regain full fitness and return to playing cricket.
Shami is ruled out from cricket since the ODI World Cup 2023 where he last featured in the final of the marquee event which was played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19. He was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
