In post-Dravid era , Gautam Gambhir told to take stock of India pacer’s future
The fast bowler of team India Mohammed Shami was one of the stars of India’s god-like 2023 ODI World Cup, but the pacer has since been sidelined with an ankle injury, with no definite timeline for a return. Shami underwent surgery on his Achilles Tendon in February – which ruled him out of the IPL and T20 World Cup – and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. In his recent Instagram posts, the leg is out of the cast, and Shami seems to be getting a lot more agile, which bodes is like music to Indian cricket’s ears.
Mhambrey said in an interview, “The staff should talk to Shami and find out what he wants to do. He’s no longer young, so where does he fit in and how many more years does he look to play? How do we use him smartly? I’m sure whoever comes with Gauti will find out how to get the best of Shami.” “If Tests are the focus now, then make sure he is in the best shape for the series in Australia. However, what Shami wants and what his body says is paramount. But yes, some cricket is needed before the Australia tour as he has had a long break.”
