“The BCCI Medical Team at the Centre of Excellence is working with Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami on his recovery and rehabilitation following surgery on his right heel. Shami has fully recovered from this heel problem. Shami bowled 43 overs in a Ranji Trophy match for Bengal against Madhya Pradesh in November.

There is a problem in the knee
BCCI informed that due to bowling for a long time, the swelling has increased in Mohammed Shami‘s left knee. However, it will be completely cured in some time. He said,
“Minor swelling has been observed in his left knee due to increased joint load from bowling workload. The swelling is at expected levels due to increased bowling after a long time.”
It is worth noting that Mohammed Shami may again take a break from cricket to recover from the swelling. In such a situation, his playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy remains doubtful. He has been ruled out of the last two matches of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The BCCI medical team is keeping a close watch on him.
