Shami’s much-awaited comeback
Shami recently called out all the fake news claiming a delay in his comeback due to aggravation of a knee injury. India’s star fast bowler has dismissed false reports about his fitness ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Shami, who has been sidelined since the conclusion of the ODI World Cup 2023, underwent surgery for an ankle injury earlier this year. He has been on course of recovery ever since.
“Why these type of baseless rumors? I’m working hard and trying my level best to recover. Neither the BCCI nor me have mentioned that I am out of the Border Gavaskar series. I request the public to stop paying attention to such news from unofficial sources. Please stop and don’t spread such fake fake fake & fake news,. especially without my statement,” wrote Shami on his X account.
Currently, undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, Shami is working hard to regain full fitness before the Test series against New Zealand and Australia. However, recent speculation suggested that he had developed swollen knees, further delaying his comeback. Addressing these rumors, Shami called out the misinformation and reiterated his focus on being match-ready for the high-profile series.
With India aiming for a historic hat-trick of Test series victories in Australia, Shami’s presence will be crucial. The Men in Blue have already conquered Australia twice on their soil, winning the 2018-19 and 2020–21 editions of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
