रणजी ट्रॉफी खेल सकते हैं मोहम्मद शमी: इंजरी के बाद अक्टूबर में वापसी की संभावना; NCA नेट्स में गेंदबाजी शुरू की

Mohammed Shami may play the Test series against New Zealand in October.

India’s experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami can return to the cricket field in October from Ranji Trophy. He is likely to play the opening matches of Ranji Trophy for Bengal. He has set a target to be fully fit before the Australia tour starting in November. The selectors are also not in a hurry about his return.

Ranji match can be played on 11th or 18th October
The new season of Ranji Trophy will start from October 11, on the same day Shami’s home team Bengal will play its first match against Uttar Pradesh. The team will face Bihar from October 18, just 3 days after the match ends. According to reports, Shami can play against either UP or Bihar. There is only a gap of 3 days between the two matches, due to which the possibility of him playing both the matches is less.

Mohammed Shami has started bowling at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

Can play test against New Zealand
The 3 Test series between India and New Zealand will also start from October 16. The first Test against New Zealand will be played in Bengaluru from October 16, the second Test in Pune from October 24 and the third Test in Mumbai from November 1. If Shami manages to prove his match fitness, he may get a chance to play the remaining 2 Tests of the series against New Zealand.

Shami returned to India in March after undergoing surgery in England.

Australia tour is the last target
If Shami plays against New Zealand, he can be considered fit for the Australia tour. The Australia tour will start with the Perth Test from November 22. India has to play 5 Tests here till January 7.

The selectors want to keep Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah fit along with Shami for this series. Because with the help of these 3 pacers, India won the last 2 Border-Gavaskar series on Australian soil in 2018 and 2021.

Shami has taken 229 wickets in 64 Tests for India. This includes 5 wickets in an innings 6 times. He also has 195 wickets in ODIs and 24 wickets in T20s. He plays for Gujarat Titans in the IPL.

Shami is recovering from ankle surgery
Mohammed Shami went to England in January this year and got his ankle surgery done. After the surgery, he remained away from the field for 6 months. He started rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru this month. Some videos of Shami also surfaced, in which he was seen bowling at a slow pace.

During recovery from ankle injury, Mohammed Shami was seen walking with the help of crutches.

The last match was played on November 19
Mohammed Shami played his last international match against Australia on 19 November 2023 in the form of the ODI World Cup final. After this, he was given a break, in which he underwent surgery. If he makes a comeback against New Zealand, he will be seen playing international cricket after about 11 months.
