Mohammed Shami returns 'stronger' after injury lay-off
The Statesman Siliguri
|January 23, 2025
He was forced to miss the crucial Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia due to injury, but star India pacer Mohammed Shami has taken the setback in his stride, asserting that such experiences help athletes to "grow stronger".
The Men in Blue are currently engaged in a T20I series with England, the opening game of which took place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday.
With Jasprit Bumrah out of the squad for the five-match T20I series against the Three Lions, Shami is the most senior star in the Indian pace attack.
Last year, Shami returned to domestic cricket with Bengal after undergoing an ankle surgery that kept him sidelined for nearly a year. Shami had also been a part of Bengal's squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
