Mohammed Shami, India’s premier pacer recovering from ankle surgery, is set to return for the home Test series against Bangladesh later this year, according to BCCI secretary Jay Shah. Shami missed the England Test series and the upcoming IPL due to Achilles tendon surgery, also ruling him out of the T20 World Cup in June.
Shah mentioned, “Shami’s surgery is done; he is back in India. Shami’s return is likely for the home series against Bangladesh.” Additionally, Shah provided updates on KL Rahul, who is undergoing rehab, and Rishabh Pant, expressing optimism about Pant’s comeback in the IPL after recovering from a severe knee injury and fractures sustained in a car accident in December 2022.
“He is batting well, keeping well. We will declare him fit very soon. If he can play the T20 World Cup for us, that will be a big thing for us. He is a big asset for us,” Shah said about Pant’s progress. Shah also addressed the IPL’s potential foreign investment, clarifying that it is not feasible as the BCCI is a society and not a company.
