Shami's outstanding performance in 2023 ODI World Cup saw him become tournament's highest wicket-taker, claiming 23 wickets in just 7 matches and playing a key role in India's campaign. However, a knee injury during the tournament has kept him out of action since then.
The 33-year-old pacer, who secured Purple Cap in IPL 2023, is focused on making a return to Team India. Shami plans to participate in domestic cricket to demonstrate his fitness and form before rejoining the national squad. His comeback is eagerly awaited.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently emphasized importance of domestic matches for cricketers aiming to return to the Indian team.
Veteran Shami's involvement in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand will serve as a crucial warm-up before India heads to Australia for highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which features five Tests against Australia.
