Mohammed Shami Makes Way To Indian Team As BCCI Names India’s Squad For England T20I Series
The BCCI announced India’s squad for the five-match T20I series against England which is scheduled to start from January 22. Veteran India pacer Mohammed Shami makes a comeback to the Indian side after a long injury hiatus. The last time when Shami played for India transpired back during the ODI World Cup 2023 final. He was also the highest wicket-taker with 24 scalps in seven outings in the mega event.
The Bengal-based pacer sustained an ankle injury and recently made a return to the Bengal side in the Ranji Trophy and also played in the T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The veteran speedster also missed out on taking part in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 because of the injury as Australia outplayed the Indian team 3-1 to win the series after 10 years.
