Mohammed Shami had surgery on his right Achilles tendon in London. He wants to recover soon. He might not play in IPL 2024, which is from March 22 to May 26.
Shami hasn’t played cricket since the ODI World Cup. He was important for India, taking 24 wickets in seven matches. He had an average of 10.70 and a strike rate of 12.20. During the World Cup, he played with pain. He took injections for his ankle.
Mohammed Shami’s injury is bad news for Gujarat Titans. They finished second in IPL 2023. Shami was their top wicket-taker. They also traded Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians.
Earlier, Shami felt stiffness in his ankle. He hoped to recover for England Tests. But later, he went to BCCI’s National Cricket Academy for a check-up. He was in India’s squad for South Africa Tests but couldn’t play due to ankle pain.
India gave Test caps to Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep when Mohammed Shami was absent. He hasn’t played any game in the ongoing WTC cycle. His last Test was against Australia at The Oval.
Shami might also miss the T20 World Cup. It starts after IPL ends.
