Mohammad Shami is back on to cricket field where he left the World Cup 2023 due to an ankle injury, coming back into another ICC event is not that easy job. Even after coming back and delivering straight away requires a different type of strength. Mohammad Shami was in elite form in World Cup 2023 where his pace and wicket-taking ability had become a serious headache to the opposition.
It was during the final of the World Cup 2023 and India was poised with a mere target to chase, It was up to bowlers who would give the best outcome of the match. But after a few overs when Shami came to bowl he started feeling uncomfortable which resulted in his ankle injury.
The Pain To Leave The Field
Mohammad Shami revealed in his latest interview that it was really painful not for the pain but leaving the field without delivering for the country. He lost the hope of coming back in the blue jersey. He encountered the incident with the doctor asking when he would be back on the cricket field. His reply was simple first his job is to make him walk, then jog and run the hard yards. After listening to his words carefully, I thought it would take a long time and lots of thoughts were running through my mind

Whether I will back to the team will I be able to play for India? After my operation, my family became the biggest supporter of mine. After a few months, I was asked to walk, it was so nerve-wracking and so much pain thought it would be the end of mine. But my supporters became my biggest strength even BCCI gave their full support which gave me the strength to regain the confidence beneath me.
Striving the hunger back
It was hard and painful swollen knees to calm down monitoring day and night, but it was all worth it for Shami because his aim to play for India was way more than it. After one year of hard training and rehabilitation finally, it was all worth it for Shami. Still, he was kept on hold for the Bgt series not to give hard yards because BCCI didn't want to take the necessary steps to endure further injury.
Due to Bumrah's injury in the recent BGT series, no main experienced bowlers were there for the England series and ICC Champions Trophy so Shami was fast-tracked and tried for the England series where he was clicking the clock better. Then what he was on the team sheet of the Champions Trophy. Shami played the first match of the ICC Champions Trophy where he took 5 wickets and restricted Bangladesh to 227. This comeback was not easy for Shami but the desire to play for his country and the toughness he possessed was great.
