Mohammed Shami, the fast bowler for India, is convalescing from an ankle injury he fought through to lead his team’s bowling assault during the ICC World Cup. He is expected to see a specialist in London. The great pacer has stayed out of action following India’s 2023 One Day International (ODI) World Cup runners-up finish. Shami was the top wicket-taker in the ICC competition at the end of the 2023 World Cup. Pacer Shami, who hasn’t played since November, was hoping to make a return during the Test series against England. Scroll down to read Injured Mohammed Shami To Leave For London For Treatment.
Injured Mohammed Shami To Leave For London For Treatment
The World Cup 2023 has kept India’s pacer Mohammad Shami out of the game; he is reportedly traveling to London to see a specialist over his condition.
Due to knee and ankle problems, Shami, who led the ICC World Cup 2023 wicket-taking records with 24 scalps and a best bowling average of 7/57, has been sidelined. He was absent from the home T20I series against Australia, the whole South Africa tour, and the home T20I series against Afghanistan.
Additionally, he was left out of the Indian team for the forthcoming series, which kicks off in Hyderabad on January 25 and consists of two Test matches against England.
Shami stated that his recuperation is proceeding according to plan, and the National Cricket Academy’s (NCA) medical staff was pleased with the 2023 World Cup hero’s development. After missing the South Africa series, Shami resumed his training sessions to rejoin the Indian team for the England series. Shami, however, was not selected for the five-match Test series because he was unable to recuperate in time.
Cricbuzz reported that they have information that Shami can travel to London shortly. The head of NCA’s sports science section, Nitin Patel, is probably going to be with the senior pacer. The report states that Shami and Patel collaborated at NCA to treat the pacer’s ankle problem. Premier batter Suryakumar Yadav had a groin operation in Germany earlier.
Pant can join Shami?
According to the report, Rishabh Pant may soon be sent to London by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Pant, a batsman and wicketkeeper, wants to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2024. It will take Prithvi Shaw, an Indian opener, at least another month to make a comeback to competitive cricket. His comeback is contingent upon passing more difficult agility routines and acceleration tests.
Shaw undergoing rehab at NCA
Before being cleared to return to competitive cricket, the Indian opener would need to play in a few matches. At NCA, Shaw is also receiving treatment. It is also the Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) hope that Shaw makes himself available for the Ranji Trophy knockout stages. Shaw may also aim for an IPL comeback. The Delhi Capitals (DC) have already decided to hold onto the Indian opener for the 2024 IPL. Shaw’s knee injury from the previous year kept him out of the domestic season for the most part. During Northamptonshire’s one-day championship match against Durham, the Indian opener hurt his knee.
