Mohammed Shami Returns to Competitive Cricket in Ranji Trophy

After nearly a year-long injury hiatus, Shami will play for Bengal against Madhya Pradesh in a crucial Ranji Trophy match.

Mohammed Shami is set to make his comeback in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match against Madhya Pradesh after recovering from an ankle injury.
The Indian pacer has been out of action since November 2023, missing key series including the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
His return is seen as a significant boost for Bengal, who are currently fifth in the points table, and for India's national team prospects.
Shami received clearance from the National Cricket Academy and aims to prove his fitness ahead of potential selection for international fixtures.
India's head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma are hopeful that Shami's performance will strengthen the team's bowling lineup.
