Why is Mohammed Shami’s return getting delayed? After all, why did Rohit Sharma express concern?

Mohammed Shami Return Update: Is Mohammed Shami fully fit or not, will he join the Indian squad in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy or not? Indian fans are very curious to know the answers to many such questions. While playing for Bengal, he first played well in Ranji Trophy 2024/2025 and now he is wreaking havoc in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy also. But first of all, let us know what is the problem with Shami and what is the serious injury due to which he is not able to return to Team India.

Shami suffered an ankle injury during the 2023 ODI World Cup and after that he stayed away from the cricket field for almost a year due to a knee injury. Due to this injury, he could not play even in IPL 2024. Meanwhile, he also suffered from pain problem, due to which he could not play the match against Karnataka in Ranji Trophy. Due to fitness problems, he did not get a place in the Indian squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Why was there a delay in return?

Mohammed Shami’s ankle injury was almost cured, but his knee injury became serious with time. Meanwhile, after the Adelaide Test, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had expressed concern over Shami’s fitness. On one hand, speculations about his comeback are increasing, but at the same time, the problem of knee swelling has been troubling him again and again. In such a situation, it is probably not possible for him to play a test match lasting 5 days.

Shami is currently playing for Bengal team in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. Apart from playing a stormy innings of 32 runs in 17 balls against Chandigarh in the pre-quarterfinal match, he also took one wicket in bowling. Talking about fitness, Shami looks fit, but looking at the run-up it is clear that he is not able to run with full strength. In such a situation, there are question marks that Shami might not be able to play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
