Indian Pacer Shami Out for Extended Period After Heel Surgery

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami successfully underwent surgery on his heel to repair a damaged Achilles tendon. He shared the news on social media, stating that while the operation was a success, full recovery will require time.

Shami has been sidelined since the 2023 World Cup final in November, missing subsequent matches against Australia and the tour of South Africa. He was also ruled out of the upcoming five-match Test series against England due to the surgery.

This news also confirms Shami’s absence from the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. He played a vital role for the Gujarat Titans in their 2022 and 2023 IPL victories.

Shami’s return to international cricket for India remains uncertain, and fans eagerly await his comeback.
