As per the report, Mohammed Shami To Make India Comeback In Bangladesh Test Series

The star performer of the ODI cricket World Cup 2023 for team India, Mohammed Shami, has been out of action because of a heel injury and went through successful surgery on his Achilles tendon in February 2024. Now, after a long rehabilitation, as per the reports of a news agency, he is likely to make his much-awaited comeback at the start of India’s home season against Bangladesh.

Starting on September 19th in Chennai, India is set to play two Test matches against Bangladesh, while the second Test will be played in Kanpur. Shami is likely to be selected for the Test series, but it seems that he will not be part of the T20I series that is to be followed after the Test matches.

The right-arm fast bowler of the team India has been a consistent performer for the team for almost a decade now and has been a vital part of India’s pace resurgence in the Test format. He has taken 229 wickets in 64 Test matches so far, and along with Bumrah, he has been a standout pacer.

With injuries constantly hampering his progress, there is a bit of doubt over his future in white-ball formats, and we might just see him concentrating his full energy on Test cricket in the coming years.
