Mohammed Shami News: Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami is finally ready to return to international cricket. Shami, who has been away from the field since the 2023 ODI World Cup, has consistently performed brilliantly in domestic cricket to prove his fitness. The result of his hard work and experience is that he has not only been included in the T20 and ODI series against England, but he will also be a part of the Indian team for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.

Shami's return is not only a big relief for the Indian team, but he also has a chance to achieve some new heights in T20 International cricket.

Will play T20 International for the first time after T20 World Cup 2022

Mohammed Shami last played a T20 International match in the 2022 T20 World Cup. India lost to England in the semi-finals of that tournament. Now, after almost two years, Shami is making a comeback in T20 Internationals.

This time, Shami has been given a chance to play in the five-match T20 series against England. Since he has recovered from injury, the priority of the team management will be to get Shami back to his rhythm and form by playing in every match.

Mohammad Shami's T20 International career

Shami has played only 23 T20 International matches for India so far, in which he has taken 24 wickets. His average in this format has been 29.62 and economy 8.94. Even though his figures may not look big at the international level, his experience in T20 cricket is invaluable.

Shami has performed brilliantly in the IPL and has more than 200 wickets to his name in T20 cricket. His experience will make India's fast bowling attack stronger.

Preparing to leave these Indian bowlers behind

Shami has a golden opportunity to break some more records in T20 International. If he takes five more wickets, he will surpass these former Indian bowlers:

Harbhajan Singh: 25 wickets in 28 matches

Avesh Khan: 27 wickets in 25 matches

Irfan Pathan: 28 wickets in 24 matches

Since Shami may get a chance to play all five matches of this series, it will not be difficult for him to break this record.

Shami's role in Champions Trophy and upcoming tournaments

After the series against England, Shami will be eyeing the Champions Trophy 2025. The Indian team needs experienced bowlers, and Shami can become the backbone of the Indian bowling attack with his experience and skill.

Fitness and form will be monitored

Shami has proved his fitness in domestic cricket, but the real test of his form and fitness will be at the international level. The coaching staff and the captain hope that Shami will bowl his best during the series and further strengthen his place in the team for the upcoming tournaments.

Expectations from Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami's return will not only strengthen the bowling attack of the Indian team, but will also give the young bowlers a chance to learn from him. His performance against England and in the upcoming tournaments will prove to be important for Indian cricket.

Given Shami's experience and passion, Indian cricket fans are expecting him to shine on the field once again.
