Shami Very Likely To Make Ranji Trophy Return, Could Make India Comeback From Brisbane Test
Though Mohammed Shami: Though Mohammed Shami was a notable omission from India’s squad for the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to his ongoing ankle injury recovery, there is a likelihood of him joining the team mid-way after making a return to competitive cricket through last two rounds of the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
Shami, who’s taken 229 wickets in 64 Tests, made a return to bowling at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and even bowled at the Indian team nets after they lost the Test series opener to New Zealand by eight wickets, where skipper Rohit Sharma had revealed the pacer had a setback in returning to action due to swelling on his knee.
Despite looking gingerly at times with a heavy strapping on his left knee, Shami seemed to have got a little bit of rhythm while bowling to Shubman Gill and a padded-up assistant coach Abhishek Nayar for more than an hour at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on October 20. The very next day, Shami said at a promotional event at Gurugram that he was 100% pain-free and expressed his keen interest in playing a few domestic matches.
