Mohammed Shami has bid to return to the Indian team with his brilliant performance in the Ranji Trophy. Shami, who is returning to competitive cricket after about a year, bowled 19 overs against Madhya Pradesh and took 4 wickets for 54 runs. During this period he also released 4 maidens. BCCI has shared a 17-ball clip of his spell, in which an example of his lethal bowling can be seen. Meanwhile, Shami’s childhood coach Mohammad Badruddin revealed that he used a homemade technique during rehabilitation to return to the team after being 100 percent fit.
I used to do this work during rehab.
Mohammed Shami’s childhood coach Mohammed Badruddin said in an interview with Indian Express that “he is a person with very old ideas and wanted to return to the team only after being 100 per cent fit.” He is not one of those players who hides his injuries and comes back only to get injured again. He won’t come back until he starts bowling with full force and pace.
Therefore, despite getting permission to play from the National Cricket Academy, Shami tested his fitness during rehabilitation. To do this, he adopted the indigenous technique and used to wet the earth in an area of the Alinagar farmhouse and run over it.

Badruddin further said that Shami had recovered very quickly after a knee surgery. But it took him a long time to recover after recovering from the ankle injury suffered during the World Cup. He said his age was a major factor behind this. According to Badruddin, he sometimes became irritated and also began to doubt his future. He had made the New Zealand Test series his goal but suffered a major setback due to knee swelling and a lateral strain injury during rehabilitation. However, he did not give up and continued to work hard.
Shami trusts team management
Shami’s childhood coach is very impressed with his bowling in Ranji. He said that looking at his bowling, one cannot say that he is making a comeback after a year. As before, his wrist and seam position was excellent. His swing ended at the fourth and fifth stumps. That means Shami’s lead is still intact.
According to Badruddin, he also passed the fitness test after bowling and bowling 19 overs. Now he is also thinking of participating in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy which will be held from November 23, because now the next round of Ranji will start in January. But it depends on the team management. Shami is waiting for your instructions. He can be called up for the second test match to be held in Adelaide.
