Cricket News Desk. The 5-match T20 series against England will start from January 22. Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has been selected in the team for this series. Mohammed Shami is out of international cricket after the 2023 ODI World Cup. He got injured during this tournament. After this, he had to undergo ankle surgery in February 2024. Now after a long wait, he will be seen playing for the Indian team. The first match of the series will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Before this match, Shami has given a big statement on his return.

Shami's big statement regarding his return to Team India
On his return to Team India after 14 months, Mohammed Shami said that if a player has the passion to play for his country, he can recover from many injuries. 'The hunger to play for the country should never end,' Shami said at an event organized by the Bengal Cricket Association. If you love it you will always keep fighting, even if you get injured 10 times, I think the hunger to play for the country should never end.

Mohammed Shami further said, 'I always have this thing in my mind that no matter how many matches I play, it will be less for me because once I leave cricket, it cannot happen again.' It has never happened that players representing their state or country consider quitting the game after getting injured. Whenever we get injured, only one thought comes to our mind that when will we be able to make a comeback.

Will play T20 match for Team India after 2 years
Mohammed Shami will be seen playing T20 matches for the Indian team after a long time. Shami last played a T20 match for Team India in November 2022. Since then he is away from T20 cricket. But Team India has to play the Champions Trophy next month, so the management wants to give them as many opportunities as possible so that they can regain their rhythm. Let us tell you that Mohammed Shami has played only 23 T20 matches for Team India so far. During this period he gave runs at an economy rate of 8.94 and took 24 wickets.
