Mohammed Shami set to miss T20 World Cup: ‘His return likely in home series against Bangladesh,’ says Jay Shah
This would also mean that the speedster is out of contention to take part in the T20 World Cup which will take place in West Indies and the USA from June.
“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.
The pacer, who took 24 wickets in the 2023 World Cup, 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.
Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had wished Shami a speedy recovery after the Indian seamer had announced that he had undergone an heel surgery two weeks ago.
“Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health. I’m confident you’ll overcome this injury with the courage that is so integral to you,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X.
