Mohammed Shami set to miss IPL 2024, to undergo surgery for ankle injury: Sources

In a recent development, senior Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) due to a left ankle injury, for which he will undergo surgery in the UK. The 33-year-old, who is not part of the ongoing Test series against England, last played for India in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November.

Sources revealed that Shami was in London in January for ankle treatment, which did not yield the desired results, leading to the need for surgery. An insider stated, “Don’t think he will play in the IPL.” This news comes as a blow for both Shami and his IPL team as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The absence of Shami will be a significant loss for his IPL team, as the experienced pacer’s skills and expertise will be sorely missed on the field. It remains to be seen how the team management will address this setback and rework their strategies for the tournament.

Shami’s injury and subsequent unavailability for the IPL raise questions about the recovery timeline and his future participation in competitive cricket. Fans and supporters will be eager for updates on his progress and the potential impact of this setback on his career moving forward.

As Shami gears up for surgery in the UK, the cricket fraternity extends their best wishes for his successful recovery and return to the sport. His absence from the IPL will undoubtedly be felt, and the onus now lies on his team to adapt and make the necessary adjustments in his absence.
