Indian veteran speedster Mohammed Shami is currently on the road to recovery. He missed all the action since the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The 34-year-old speedster ended his campaign in the marquee event as the highest wicket-taker. He picked up 24 wickets at an average of 10.70 and a strike rate of 12.20, with the best figures of 7/57.
Shami took his 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) to share his picture of doing the workout in the gym. Fans started wishing the pacer for a memorable comeback in Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024 which will be hosted by Australia. Here is how fans reacted.
There were reports that Shami will feature in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand but the speedster has given more rest before India's upcoming tour to Australia.
After finishing the three Test matches against New Zealand, India will play five Test match series against Australia where the Rohit-led side will look for a Test series win hattrick on Australian soil. If India manages to win this series then they will become the first Asian team who win three consecutive Test series against Australia on their home soil.
