Mohammed Shami to undergo ankle surgery, ruled out of IPL 2024
Mohammed Shami, the senior bowler for the Indian cricket team, will not be playing in the Indian Premier League next month due to a left ankle injury, for which he will have surgery in the UK, a BCCI source informed us on Thursday.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a top BCCI insider stated: "Shami received instructions to begin light running after three weeks after receiving specific ankle injections while in London during the last week of January.
Nevertheless, the injection proved futile, leaving surgery as the only option left. He's heading to the UK for surgery soon. It seems impossible to have the IPL. The National Cricket Academy's injury recovery management regimen for Shami is called into doubt in light of this development.
It is now extremely improbable that the speed bowling maestro would be able to recover in time for India's next home Test matches against New Zealand and Bangladesh. The highly anticipated away series versus Australia might be his objective.
People in the know believe that the NCA’s conservative line of thinking has not worked in Shami’s case. The source said, “Shami should have gone directly for surgery, and that should have been NCA’s call. Just two months of rest and injections wouldn’t have worked well, and that’s what has happened. He is an asset, and the Indian team would need him in Australia.”
