Mohammed Shami’s last international outing came in the ODI World Cup Final 2023 against Australia
Mohammed Shami is desperate to make a comeback for the India Cricket Team. And the veteran pacer has sacrificed his favorite love for biriyani for over 2 months, in his bid to make a swift return and maintain a strict diet. Bengal’s fast bowling coach Shib Shankar Paul has praised and lavished huge praises for Shami, who has shown an incredible hunger to make his International return.
Mohammed Shami has been missing International cricket for over 14 months now. However, he returned to domestic cricket last year, playing a Ranji game, and quite a few SMAT matches. It was during the Bengal camp, that Paul claimed that Shami reached the ground at 6 AM in the morning, eager to hit the ground running.
Shami – Hungry for India return
“Fast bowlers take time to return from injuries. He was so hungry to return that he wanted to bowl even after finishing a game. This is a great dedication from a sportsman. Few players want to bowl for 30 to 45 more minutes after a game. He was also the first to reach the ground at 6 am, before the team reached, on match days during the domestic T20 matches,” Paul said, as per Sportsboom.com.
