India’s star fast bowler Mohammed Shami is focused on achieving full fitness before making his highly anticipated return to international cricket. The 34-year-old pacer, who last played in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, has been sidelined due to an ankle injury and underwent surgery earlier this year.

Speaking at the Cricket Association of Bengal's (CAB) annual awards ceremony, Shami expressed his desire to return stronger but emphasized the importance of not rushing the process. “Koshish jaldi hi kar raha hoon kyun ke main janta hoon kaafi time ho gaya hai team se bahar rehte hue (I am working hard to make a comeback soon because I know I have been out of action for quite some time). However, I want to ensure there is no discomfort when I return. I've to work on my fitness, so that there is no discomfort,” Shami said.

Having already begun bowling again, Shami remains cautious about returning to competitive cricket too soon. “The stronger I return, the better it is for me. I don't want to rush and risk getting injured again, be it against Bangladesh, New Zealand, or the Australia series,” he added. India’s packed schedule includes 10 Test matches over the next five months, with series against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

Shami hinted at a potential return through domestic cricket before rejoining the national side. He is likely to feature in Bengal’s Ranji Trophy matches starting from October 11. “If I need to play domestic cricket to test my fitness, I will. What matters most is that I am fully ready for whatever comes next, regardless of the opposition or format,” he said.

The pacer also expressed confidence in India's chances for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where India will be aiming for a third consecutive Test series win in Australia. “Favourites toh hum hi hai, chinta unhe honi chahiye (We are the favourites, they should be worried),” Shami remarked confidently.
