Shami returns to India after successful Achilles surgery

India’s pace bowler Mohammad Shami has returned to India after a successful surgery on his heel to repair his Achilles tendon in the UK. Shami had to undergo surgery after getting injured during India’s 2023 ODI World Cup campaign and has been out of action since November 19. He shared his return on social media, thanking fans for their support.

Shami expressed his gratitude, stating, “Grateful to be back in India after surgery. Feeling stronger and ready to embrace this next chapter. Thank you to everyone for your support and love!” Shami also missed the T20I series against Australia and the tour of South Africa along with the Test series against England.

The injury during the World Cup final against Australia led to Shami being sidelined for an extended period. His return to India marks the beginning of his road to recovery and the hope of representing the national team again in the future. The surgery was crucial for his rehabilitation process, and Shami is eager to get back to full fitness and form.

Shami’s absence was felt during the recent series against Australia and South Africa, highlighting his importance to the Indian team’s bowling attack. As he starts his recovery journey, fans are hopeful to see the talented bowler back in action soon, contributing to India’s success on the field.
