Mohammed Shami hasn’t played cricket ever since his dream run in the 2023 ODI World Cup due to an injury. Here are the latest updates about his injury and probable comeback date.

Since November last year, Shami has been out of action owing to an ankle injury. Consequently, the fast bowler underwent surgery in February and has been on the road to recovery since then. As part of his rehabilitation, he has started bowling in the nets at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

Further delay in Shami's return

There's more concern over Shami's comeback, after not being named in Bengal's Ranji squad to face Karnataka on November 6. Despite suggesting he's a "100 per cent" in nets, Shami still seems to be on the road to recovery.

Shami ruled out of BGT

The fast bowler couldn't recover in time, and was ruled out of the Australia tour, not being named in the touring group.
