<h2>The 33-year-old took to social media platform X to share that he's looking forward to the healing process after the removal of his stitches.</h2>

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has crossed a significant milestone in his recovery from an ankle injury, having undergone surgery last month to address the issue. On Wednesday, Shami shared an encouraging update on his rehabilitation journey, signaling his readiness to move forward with the healing process after the removal of his stitches.
In a heartfelt message posted on the social media platform 'X', Shami expressed his gratitude for the medical advancements that have supported his recovery thus far. "Hello everyone! I wanted to provide an update on my recovery process. It has been 15 days since my surgery, and I recently had my stitches removed. I am thankful for the advancements and looking forward to the next stage of my healing journey," he conveyed, alongside three photos documenting his progress.
The absence of the 33-year-old from the cricket field has been notable, particularly since his last appearance in the ODI World Cup in 2023, where he played a pivotal role in India's campaign. Despite experiencing discomfort and issues with his landing, Shami's commitment didn't waver, as he managed to claim 24 wickets, demonstrating his resilience and dedication to the team.
Regrettably, Shami's injury has led to his withdrawal from the recent five-match Test series against England and the forthcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Furthermore, it has been confirmed that, along with his colleague Prasidh Krishna, Shami will not participate in this year's T20 World Cup.
Having been honoured with the Arjuna Award, Shami's illustrious career spans over a decade, during which he has accumulated 229 wickets in Tests, 195 in ODIs, and 24 in T20Is.&nbsp;

Mohammed Shami's comeback likely by home series against Bangladesh: Jay Shah

Shami last played for India in the ODI World Cup where he was their standout performer. India will host Bangladesh for two Tests and three T20 Internationals in September.

India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami, who is recuperating from ankle surgery, is expected to return with the home Test series against Bangladesh later this year, BCCI secretary Jay Shah told PTI.
Shami missed the five-match Test series against England and will also sit out of the IPL after having undergone surgery for Achilles tendon last month.

"Shami's surgery is done, he is back in India. Shami's return is likely for the home series against Bangladesh. KL Rahul needed an injection, he has started rehab and is at the NCA," said Shah during the media interaction.
Rahul missed the last four Tests of the England series after complaining of pain in his right quadriceps. He is expected to turn up for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, having undergone treatment in London.
Rishabh Pant on track for IPL comeback&nbsp;
The BCCI secretary also updated Rishabh Pant, who is set to make his much-awaited comeback in the IPL. Pant has been out of action since a horrific car accident in December 2022.
"He is batting well, he is keeping well. We will declare him fit very soon. If he can play in the T20 World Cup for us, that will be a big thing. He is a big asset for us.

Mohammed Shami undergoes surgery; shares comeback update

Mohammed Shami on Monday took to social media to inform that he had underwent a successful heel operation and also gave an update about his return.

Mohammed Shami on Monday took to social media to inform that he had underwent a successful heel operation and also gave an update about his return.
&ldquo;Just had a successful heel operation on my Achilles tendon! Recovery is going to take some time, but looking forward to getting back on my feet,&rdquo; Shami wrote.
According to reports, Shami had to undergo surgery in the United Kingdom which ruled him out of upcoming IPL 2024.
The pacer has been out of action shince India's ODI World Cup final loss to Australia on November 19. Since then, he has missed the T20I series against Australia at home, the tour of South Africa and the home Test series against England.
Earlier in January, Shami said that he was hoping to recover for the series against England, but the rub of the green did not go his way.
"My rehabilitation is well on track and the medical experts at NCA are happy with my progress," Shami had told the Times of India.

Mohammed Shami is looking at a lengthy layoff, with BCCI sources indicating to PTI that the pacer is expected to return to cricket towards the end of the year.

<h2>Mohammed Shami is looking at a lengthy layoff, with BCCI sources indicating to PTI that the pacer is expected to return to cricket towards the end of the year.</h2>

Mohammed Shami, the seasoned fast bowler for India, is set to miss the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season following the decision that he must undergo surgery in the United Kingdom for a left ankle injury. This development was disclosed by a source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday to PTI, casting a shadow on the player's immediate cricketing engagements.
Shami, 33, who has been a crucial figure in India's bowling lineup, has not participated in the current Test series against England. His last appearance on the field was during the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November, where he played a pivotal role in India's journey through the tournament.
According to PTI, the decision for surgery comes after an unsuccessful attempt to remedy the injury with special ankle injections in London during the last week of January. Despite hopes that Shami could resume light running three weeks post-injection, the treatment did not yield the expected results, leading to the conclusion that surgery is the necessary course of action. "But the injection hasn't worked and now the only option left is surgery. He will shortly leave for UK for surgery. IPL seems out of question," said the BCCI source, who preferred to remain unnamed.
Throughout his decade-long career, Shami has been a key player for India, contributing significantly across all formats. His impressive tally includes 229 Test, 195 ODI, and 24 T20 wickets. The recent setback not only questions the effectiveness of the injury rehabilitation strategy employed by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) but also puts Shami's participation in future series in doubt, notably the home matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand as well as the highly anticipated series in Australia.
Critics argue that the NCA's conservative approach to Shami's injury management has proven inadequate. "Shami should have gone directly for surgery and that should have been NCA's call. Just two months of rest and injections wouldn't have worked well and that's what has happened. He is an asset and the Indian team would need him in Australia," the source elaborated.
As Shami prepares for surgery, his absence will undoubtedly be felt in the upcoming IPL season and potentially in India's cricket schedule that follows the marquee T20 league.

"I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world" - Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami calls Virat Kohli 'best batsman' and Rohit Sharma 'most dangerous' in the world

<h2>"I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world" - Mohammed Shami</h2>

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has openly expressed his deep respect for two of cricket's luminaries, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. In a statement filled with admiration, Shami declared Virat Kohli as the unparalleled "best batsman in the world" while heaping praise on Kohli's knack for surpassing records. Simultaneously, Shami bestowed the title of "the most dangerous batter in the world" upon Rohit Sharma, highlighting the Indian skipper's potent threat to opponents when wielding the bat.
The accolades come in the wake of Rohit Sharma's leadership in the recent Vizag Test against England, where India clinched a 106-run victory, evening out the series at 1-1. On another front, Virat Kohli is currently unavailable, choosing to miss the initial matches against England, citing personal reasons linked to his family.
Shami's admiration was vocalized during an interview with News18, where he stated, "Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world. Virat has just broken a lot of records. I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world."

Beyond his commendations for Kohli and Sharma, Shami also reflected on his own journey, particularly his standout role in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. With 24 wickets to his name, Shami was the tournament's top wicket-taker, a feat that has magnified his profile. Despite his personal success, Shami humbly attributes the Indian team's recent achievements to the collective efforts and evolution of its fast bowlers since 2013-2014.
Discussing the broader trajectory of India's bowling capabilities, Shami highlighted the significant progress made over the years, culminating in a formidable fast bowling contingent at the 2023 World Cup. He emphasized the importance of setting a high benchmark for future generations, saying, "People talk about the performance of the bowlers during the World Cup, but, if you have to look at the overall picture, you have to go back to 2013 and 2014. That is where the journey started. If we look at the facts now, we only had three fast bowlers performing in the World Cup this time, which makes us believe that we have set the benchmark for future bowlers."

No Mohd Shami for home Tests vs England; Suryakumar Yadav ruled out till IPL: report

As per an Indian Express report, it appears that India's ace speedster Mohammed Shami will be out of action for a bit longer than anticipated.

India's Mohammed Shami will most likely miss the first two Tests against England that commence January 25 owing to his ankle injury, The Indian Express reported on Monday.&nbsp; The report also provided an update on T20I star Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav, who has been out of action since the third T20I against South Africa in Johannesburg, is suffering from hernia and will reportedly undergo surgery.&nbsp; The report quoted a BCCI source as saying, 'Shami hasn&rsquo;t even started to bowl, he will have to go to NCA and prove his fitness. He looks doubtful for the first two Tests against England.'&nbsp; The source added, 'Whereas in Yadav&rsquo;s case he will take more time than expected. After his hernia operation it might take up to eight-nine weeks for him to start training. Hopefully he will be fit during the IPL.'&nbsp;

Chronic heel issue that troubled Mohd Shami during World Cup also sidelined him in Tests vs SA: report

Mohammed&nbsp;Shami,&nbsp;who&nbsp;took&nbsp;the&nbsp;most&nbsp;wickets&nbsp;during&nbsp;the&nbsp;2023&nbsp;World&nbsp;Cup,&nbsp;is&nbsp;presently&nbsp;recovering&nbsp;from an injury

Mohammed Shami was the 2023 ICC Men's ODI World Cup's most impressive bowler, taking 24 wickets throughout the competition while battling a chronic injury simultaneously. The right-arm pacer, who missed the first few games, made a lasting impression with his incredible performance.
As per a news agency PTI report, Shami would take injections to relieve him of pain he was allegedly experiencing throughout the World Cup due to his 'left heel issue.'
&ldquo;Shami has a chronic left heel issue. A lot of people don&rsquo;t know that he took injections regularly during World Cup and played the entire tournament through pain,&rdquo; PTI revealed quoting an unnamed former Bengal teammate of Shami. The same injury has reportedly sidelined Shami from the ongoing Test series vs South Africa.&nbsp;
To give their batting more depth, India started the ODI series with fast-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, and Shami missed the first four matches.
However, Shami seized the chance to finish with 24 wickets from just seven matches, including three five-fors, after Hardik Pandya suffered an untimely injury against Bangladesh in Pune. He has not played any competitive cricket since India's devastating loss on November 19 against Australia.&nbsp;

<h2>India's star pacer Mohammed Shami spoke on the team's heartbreaking World Cup final loss against Australia in November.</h2>

Mohammed Shami opened up about India&rsquo;s near-successful World Cup campaign, where he flexed his golden arm to become the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Shami, however, said the World Cup final loss against Australia cannot be explained.
Speaking to reporters, Shami said, &ldquo;The whole nation was disappointed. We tried a hundred percent to continue the momentum till the end that we had created and win the final. But it cannot be explained where we went wrong at the end.&rdquo;
India won all league-stage games in the World Cup and defeated New Zealand in the semis to secure their berth in the final. However, the Men in Blue faltered right at the very end, missing out on their third ODI World Cup.
Australia beat India by 6 wickets in the final game in Ahmedabad, where Shami managed to take just one wicket. Travis Head guided the Aussies to victory after tallying 137 runs off 20 deliveries.
Shami&rsquo;s World Cup campaign started late in the tournament, having missed the first 4 matches. However, he still emerged as the leading wicket-taker. The pacer finished with 24 dismissals in the World Cup, one more than Australia&rsquo;s Adam Zampa.

<h2>Mohammed Shami has been enduring ankle pain and reportedly managed this discomfort throughout the World Cup, particularly while landing his right foot during delivery.</h2>

Mohammed Shami's participation in the upcoming Test series against South Africa is uncertain, with a high likelihood of him being ruled out due to injury. According to Cricbuzz, Shami is dealing with an ankle injury and will not join the rest of the Indian Test squad traveling to South Africa.
The final group of players, including captain Rohit Sharma, is set to depart for Johannesburg on December 15, but Shami, aged 33, will not be among them.
The group flying to South Africa includes prominent players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin, Navdeep Saini, and Harshit Rana, departing via Dubai.
The Indian selectors have yet to announce a direct replacement for Shami. However, with an extensive roster of over 75 Indian players across various formats touring South Africa, it's believed a pacer from this pool could fill in for the Test series.
Shami's selection for the Test series was conditional, given his ongoing medical treatment. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had previously acknowledged his injury situation in a statement on November 30, stating, "Mr. Mohd. Shami is currently undergoing medical treatment, and his availability is subject to fitness."
The fast bowler has been enduring ankle pain and reportedly managed this discomfort throughout the World Cup, particularly while landing his right foot during delivery.
The first Test of the series is scheduled to begin on Boxing Day, December 26, at Centurion, followed by the second Test at Newlands in Cape Town. Before the start of the Test series, a three-day preparatory game is planned from December 20 for the Test squad members.

<h2>"If I have to do Sajda, I will do it. What is the problem? I say it with pride that I am Muslim. I am an Indian, I say it with pride that I am an Indian" - Mohammed Shami</h2>

Mohammed Shami was the standout performer with the ball for India in the ODI Cricket World Cup. Despite missing the first four matches, Shami finished the tournament with 24 wickets in just seven games, the highest tally in the tournament.&nbsp;
Following his remarkable performances, including three 5-fers, with a standout seven-wicket haul against New Zealand in the semi-final, the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/bcci-recommends-mohammed-shami-s-name-for-prestigious-arjuna-award-reports-1702477305257">Indian pacer has now been nominated for the prestigious Arjuna Award</a> - the nation's second biggest sporting honour.
And the veteran pacer now has finally broken his silence on the 'Sajda' controversy. Following his five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka during the World Cup, Shami kneeled on the ground, a gesture that some social media users misinterpreted.
In an interview with Aaj Tak, Shami addressed this issue. "If somebody wants to do Sajda, who will stop him? I will not stop anybody from your religion, you will not stop anybody from my religion. If I have to do Sajda, I will do it. What is the problem? I say it with pride that I am Muslim. I am an Indian, I say it with pride that I am an Indian," he asserted.
Shami emphasized his Indian identity and religious freedom, stating, "If I had an issue, I wouldn't have lived in India. If I need to take anyone's permission to do Sajda, why should I live here?" He also clarified that his kneeling was due to exhaustion from exceeding his physical limits during bowling, and not for religious reasons.
Shami, who is currently undergoing medical treatment, is slated to join the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Test series in South Africa starting December 26.&nbsp;

<h2>As per reports, the BCCI made a special appeal to the Sports Ministry for Shami's inclusion in the nominations, as his name was initially absent from the list.</h2>

Indian pacer Mohammed Shami's name has been proposed for the distinguished Arjuna Award this year, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) advocating for his nomination, according to PTI.
At 33 years of age, Shami delivered an exceptional performance in the ODI World Cup, contributing significantly to India's runner-up finish. As per PTI, sources from the ministry revealed that the BCCI made a special appeal to the Sports Ministry for Shami's inclusion in the nominations, as his name was initially absent from the list for the nation's second-highest sporting accolade.
During the World Cup, Shami emerged as the top wicket-taker, claiming an impressive 24 wickets in just seven matches. Despite not playing in the initial four games, Shami's entry into the lineup was marked by outstanding performances, securing 24 wickets at an average of merely 5.26.
Shami is also expected to be a part of the Indian squad for the forthcoming two-match Test series against South Africa. The series is set to commence with a boxing day Test starting on December 26 in Centurion, followed by a second match in Cape Town beginning on January 3.
The selection for this year's sports awards, including the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award and the Arjuna Award, will be decided by a 12-member committee appointed by the ministry.&nbsp;
This panel includes six former international athletes: hockey star Dhanraj Pillay, table tennis veteran Kamlesh Mehta, boxing pro Akhil Kumar, national shooting coach and former shooter Shuma Shirur, ex-cricketer Anjum Chopra, badminton player Tripti Murgunde, and powerlifter Farman Pasha.

Days after the Board of Control for Cricket in India revaled that India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami is receiving medical treatment, it was reported that the 33-year-old is suffering from an ankle issue.

Days after the Board of Control for Cricket in India revaled that India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami is receiving medical treatment, it was reported that the 33-year-old is suffering from an ankle issue.

Star pacer Mohammed Shami has developed an ankle condition, which currently requires medical attention, as the Indian team management will hope that he regains fitness in time for the first Test against South Africa starting from December 26 at Centurion.
Shami's name has been kept in the Test squad with a star mark and the BCCI media release stated that he "is currently undergoing medical treatment and his availability is subject to fitness." However, there was no specific information on the nature of the injury as to whether he suffered it on the field or more fitness related.
But it has been learnt that Shami was in Mumbai to consult a sports orthopaedic to diagnose his ankle condition.
"It is not exactly an on-field injury. It is an ankle condition that has developed. Shami came to Mumbai to consult the doctors. He will also go to NCA for rehab and recuperation work.
"The national selectors wouldn't have selected him had there not been a chance of him getting fit in time for the Boxing Day Test," a BCCI source, privy to the development, told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Shami didn't appear in the first four matches of the recent ODI World Cup due to the team composition requirements.
He got a chance to play in the fifth match after Hardik Pandya tore his left ankle ligament trying to stop a powerful shot on his follow-through in the match against Bangladesh.
Shami ended up getting 24 wickets in seven games and was one of the biggest reasons behind India's sustained dominance for 10 straight games in the showpiece before losing the final to Australia.
"Shami, in fact, came to watch one of Bengal's Vijay Hazare Trophy games as his younger brother Mohammed Kaif is also playing. He seemed to be walking with a slight limp," a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) source said.
It will be interesting to note whether Shami would play the three-day intra-squad match between India Seniors and India A squads, which is a tune-up for the Tests.
It is also learnt for the time being, Shami won't play white ball games as there are seven Test matches, including five against England at home and the 'Amroha Express' is expected to play a big role in the sub-continental conditions where the ball reverses a lot.
Whether Shami will play next year's T20 World Cup will depend on how he fares in the Indian Premier League, where he has had two good seasons for the Gujarat Titans.

Shami, who belongs to Uttar Pradesh, has never played for his state's team in domestic cricket. 

How one incident changed Mohammed Shami's career trajectory 

Shami, who belongs to Uttar Pradesh, has never played for his state's team in domestic cricket.&nbsp;

India's highest wicket-taker of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Mohammed Shami, recently opened up about his early years in cricket. During an interview with the sports and apparel brand PUMA, Shami recounted his days of struggle, saying that he was 'kicked out' by selectors on numerous occasions during the Uttar Pradesh Ranji Trophy team trials. The Indian pacer also recalled the shocking reply by the selectors when his brother questioned the reasons behind Shami's non-selection. The cricket official told his brother, 'If you can move my chair, then the boy will be selected. It&rsquo;s very good. Otherwise, sorry.' Shami told Puma, that his brother tore the form and decided that it was time for him to play for another team, facilitating his move to Bengal. Mohammed Shami belongs to Uttar Pradesh but has never played for his state's team in domestic cricket. For the past 15 odd years, the 33-year-old has called Bengal his home ground.

Shami didn't like is the illogical conspiracy theories thrown his way from former Pakistan cricketers saying that the Shami was given a special or that the ICC have arranged a different ball for Team India and for the 33-year-old.

'Few former Pakistan players think they are the best in the world, and can&rsquo;t digest better player and India&rsquo;s success' - Mohd Shami

Mohammed Shami had an ODI World Cup to remember as the Indian pacer surprised everyone by emerging as Team India's spearhead in the campaign, ending the tournament as the leading wicket-taker with 24 scalps to his name.
However, what Shami didn't like was the illogical conspiracy theories thrown his way from former Pakistan cricketers saying that Shami was using a different coloured cricket ball to bowl or that the ICC have arranged a different kind of ball for the 33-year-old.
In a recent interview, Shami said &ldquo;I was not playing but I was hearing all those conspiracy theories. When I played my first match, I took five wickets, in the second I bagged four, and then again a fifer in my third game. Few Pakistani cricketers couldn&rsquo;t digest this fact, how can I help with it,&rdquo;&nbsp;
'Few former Pakistan players think they are the best in the world, and can&rsquo;t digest better player and India&rsquo;s success. For me the real performers are those cricketers who work hard and perform for the team when it matters the most,&rdquo; he added.

Mohammed Shami is the highest wicket-taker of the World Cup so far, taking 23 wickets in just 6 matches. He also took 7/57 vs NZ - India's best bowling figures in ODIs.

<h2>Mohammed Shami is the highest wicket-taker of the World Cup so far, taking 23 wickets in just 6 matches. He also took 7/57 vs NZ - India's best bowling figures in ODIs.</h2>

India's seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami, has downplayed his success in the Cricket World Cup, suggesting he has done nothing extraordinary. He attributed his performance to a focus on stump-to-stump length and strategic delivery placement to create wicket opportunities.
Leading the bowling attack for India, Shami has emerged as the top wicket-taker in the World Cup, securing an impressive 23 wickets in six matches at an economy rate of 5.01, including standout performances with 3 five-wicket hauls.
Reflecting on his approach, Shami emphasized situational awareness, considering factors such as pitch conditions and ball behaviour. "If the ball is not swinging, I try and bowl stump to stump while trying to land it in a zone where the ball can catch an edge of the batters when they are driving," Shami explained in an interview with Star Sports.
Initially absent from the World Cup's early matches, Shami stepped into a prominent role following Hardik Pandya's injury. Renowned for his pace and seam movement, Shami's adaptability to varying conditions has been pivotal to India's success.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri acknowledged Shami's impact, predicting a crucial role for him in the upcoming final against Australia. Shastri commended Shami's consistent ability to hit the right lengths, creating challenges for opposing batsmen.
As the cricketing world looks forward to the high-stakes final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Shami's prowess with the ball adds a crucial dimension to India's strategy, with Shastri expressing confidence in his seam presentation and ability to trouble batsmen with skillful deliveries.

Playing his first game of the tournment in the absence of an injured Hardik Pandya, Shami became the first Indian bowler to bag two 5-wicket-hauls in ICC Cricket World Cups.

After Mohammed Shami's 5-wicket-haul helped India beat New Zealand by 6 wickets on Sunday, the pacer said that he was pleased with his effort in his first ODI World Cup 2023 outing.
However, he couldn't rate a particular wicket better than the other.
'All the wickets are good. When you play for the country, I feel every wicket is important for you. They say that every point in building a house of wickets is useful. As such, I don't like any particular wicket more. I enjoy all my wickets.'
Playing his first game of the tournment in the absence of an injured Hardik Pandya, Shami became the first Indian bowler to bag two 5-wicket-hauls in ICC Cricket World Cups.
Shami emphasised how big a role recovery plays in staying fit and match ready.
'Recovery is very important. When you play continuous matches, recovery becomes very important. But you think, or the outside world thinks, that cricketers get separated when they rest for eight days. That's not true. Cricketers can't be separated because you always want to be better and better. So, there are always some activities related to cricket. Practice activities, some games, football. You keep playing. So, it's important. There's no off. There's never an off.'

Shami's powerpacked performance helped India gain an upperhand over Pat Cummins' men with a 5-wicket win to take a 1-0 lead.

So it is important that in batting and bowling, in both departments, to get wickets and runs, is so important, before such events to play against such good opposition is the best preparation.'&nbsp;
