Mohammed Shami News: After the T20I series between India and England ended, now both the teams are preparing to clash against each other in the ODI series. India defeated England by a huge margin in the T20I series, after which the England team is all set to counterattack in the ODI series. At the same time, Team India's focus is on preparations for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, which is starting on February 19. This series is being seen as a tremendous thrill between India and England.During this ODI series, Team India's big stars Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will make a comeback in international cricket. All three players will be seen in action for the first time since the last Australia tour. Their return will strengthen the Indian team a lot, and their performance will be very important for the upcoming Champions Trophy.But not only Rohit, Virat and Bumrah, another star player is making a comeback in ODI cricket. This player is Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who was out of Team India for the last 14 months. Shami's last ODI match was the ODI World Cup final against Australia on 19 November 2023. After this, Shami performed brilliantly in domestic cricket and returned to the Indian team for the T20I and ODI series against England.In the T20I series, Shami got a chance to play only two matches and took three wickets, all of which came in the final match. Now Shami has a great opportunity to prove himself in the ODI series, especially before the Champions Trophy. If Shami takes 5 wickets in the first ODI against England, he can set a record for becoming the fastest bowler to take 200 wickets in the history of ODI cricket.Mohammed Shami has taken 195 wickets in 100 innings of 101 ODIs. If he takes 5 wickets in the first ODI against England to be played in Nagpur, he will tie with Australia's Mitchell Starc. Starc took 200 wickets in 102 innings of 102 ODIs, and if Shami achieves this feat, it will prove to be a major milestone in his career.Thus, the upcoming ODI series between India and England will not only see competition between the teams, but will also be a great opportunity for players like Mohammed Shami to create records. Both India and England teams are looking at this series as an important practice for themselves, and this series can prove to be decisive for success in the upcoming Champions Trophy.
