Mohammed Shami is reportedly set to return to the national team ahead of India’s white-ball series against England. The veteran fast bowler recently made a successful comeback through domestic cricket after recovering from his long-term injury and is likely to get a nod from the NCA to feature in the national team.
According to a report from Cricbuzz, Shami is expected to make the team for the England series starting on January 22. India are set to host England in five T20Is and their ODIs in their final preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and Shami has been tipped to be part of all squads.
The 34-year-old pacer last played featured in international cricket during the ODI World Cup 2023 and underwent surgery on his right heel in February 2024. Shami returned to professional cricket through the Ranji Trophy tournament in November 2024 and is currently part of Bengal’s side in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy.
