Mohammed Shami will return to competitive cricket tomorrow as Bengal takes on Madhya Pradesh in Indore in a Ranji Trophy game.
After the first New Zealand Test in Bengaluru, Shami had bowled extensively to India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and looked in good rhythm.
Sporting a black sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, and with his left knee strapped up, Shami operated from around the wicket to the left-handed Nayar, hitting the good length area consistently while also dishing out the occasional bouncer.
However, he was not picked for the Border-Gavaskar series.
Shami, who hasn’t featured in a competitive game since the ODI World Cup final last year, is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
