Mohammed Shami, the standout pacer for the Indian cricket team, gave a major update on Monday by revealing that he had surgery on his Achilles tendon. In order to notify his followers of the news, the right-arm pacer went on X (previously Twitter). I just had my achilles tendon successfully operated on! I’m excited to be back on my feet, but recovery will take some time. #RoadToRecovery #AchillesRecovery #HeelSurgery,” Shami wrote on X. After the ICC tournament, Shami was declared out of the South Africa tour and missed the home Twenty20 international series against Australia. The current Test series against England is not including him, and he did not attend the Afghanistan tour either.
The 33-year-old last played for India in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November. He is not participating in the upcoming five-match Test series against England. With just 7 matches played, the senior pacer emerged as the tournament’s highest wicket-taker, having struck out 24 batters.
Not competing in the current five-match Test series against England, the 33-year-old last played for India in November’s ODI World Cup final match against Australia. After taking 24 wickets in just 7 matches, the senior bowler emerged as the tournament’s highest wicket-taker.
He would presumably not be participating in the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, according to the most recent information. Given that Shami oversaw the Gujarat Titans’ pace attack, this is a serious setback for the franchise.
The success of GT in both seasons was greatly enhanced by Shami. In the 2022 IPL, the 33-year-old bowler claimed 20 wickets; in the 2023 IPL, he outperformed himself, claiming 28 wickets at 18,64 average. Particularly with the fresh ball, Shami was lethal.
