Mohammed Shami likely to be out of IPL 2024, T20 WC 2024 following ankle surgery

Mohammed Shami last played for India in the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia.

Indian veteran pacer Mohammed Shami is set to miss the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) and the ICC T20 World Cup later this year after undergoing heel surgery for Achilles Tendon.

It is to be noted that Mohammed Shami has been missing cricketing after the conclusion of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. The right-arm pacer had a dream run at the ODI World Cup 2023 in India, where he picked up 24 wickets. The pacer was seen in pain throughout the tournament and had problems with his landing, but Shami didn’t let it affect his game.

The Indian speedster Mohammed Shami, who underwent successful surgery on his heel on Monday to repair his Achilles Tendon in the United Kingdom, said that he would need time to regain full fitness and return to action.

On Monday evening, Mohammed Shami shared pictures on his social media accounts Instagram and ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), where he gave an update on his ankle injury and informed his fans that he had undergone a successful operation in the UK.

“Just had a successful heel operation on my Achilles tendon. Recovery is going to take some time but looking forward to getting back on my feet,” Mohammed Shami said in his post on X.

This news comes as a major blow for both Gujarat Titans and the Indian cricket team. Mohammed Shami is a crucial member of India’s pace attack, known for his fiery spells and ability to take wickets in crucial moments. His absence will be a significant loss for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2024 and a major concern for the national team as they prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
