Mohammad Shami has dropped a major on his return to the red-ball side before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Legendary Indian pacer Mohammad Shami has hinted at his return from injury. Shami stated in a recent tweet that he is pain-free now and he wants to bowl a few overs in a domestic circle before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The legendary pacer supposedly informed that he would look to feature for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy games to deck himself as Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
To quote Shami, ?I am pain-free now. I want to make sure I bowl enough before going to Australia. And for that, I?m targeting 1-2 Ranji games." (Revsportz).
Mohammad Shami has been one of the most successful bowlers for India in the longest format of the game. Known widely for his accuracy and impeccable seam position, Shami can often seam the ball under any conditions.
If the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is to be taken into consideration, India would need an experienced campaigner like Shami in the side to spearhead bowling alongside Jasprit Bumrah. India, who are now in need of winning the BGT to secure their entry into the third WTC final, this duo would be an asset for the side.
Mohammed Shami was last seen for India in the ODI World Cup
Mohammad Shami last stepped onto the cricket field with the white ball in hand back in 2023, where he was a surprise package, as he kept picking wickets for India at an amazing rate. After the World Cup, he suffered from an ankle injury post-surgery; he has been in rehabilitation.
Some reports claimed that he might miss the Border-Gavaskar Trophy matches, and he responded strongly against the rumours.
Meanwhile, the veteran pacer said, ?The only thing on my mind is to ensure that I am fit and how strong I can be for the Australia series. I can see what kind of attack we need in Australia. I have to spend more time on the ground.?
This remains a concern about whether Shami would be fit on time before the five-match series against Australia begins in November.
