11.03.2024 - 12:41 sports.ndtv.com

India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami, who is recuperating from an ankle surgery, is expected to make his comeback with the home Test series against Bangladesh later this year, BCCI secretary Jay Shah told PTI.

Shami 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.

Shami last played for India in the ODI World Cup where he was their standout performer. India will host Bangladesh for two Tests and three T20 Internationals in September. "Shami 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 while talking to media.

Captain Hardik Pandya could score only 11 off four deliveries but what was more baffling was his batting position at No. 7. The decision has been widely criticised and Pandya's Indian cricket teammate Mohammed Shami is also sursprised.
