In last year ODI World cup 2023 Mohammed Shami has taken 24 wickets in seven matches has been out from cricket since the final against Australia as he is under recovery from an Achilles heel injury. On missing out on the recent matches (T20World cup, India tour of Zimbabwe) Shami believes he will only make him stronger.” I’ve never run away from situations, nor have I taken an easy way out of things. The adversities I face, the stronger I become. I have more clarity. You look at 2015,I had most wickets. In 2019,I was best performer. Same in 2023.Whenever I will get the opportunity, I will give my 100 percent.” He was telling that his big dream is still to win a World Championship for India.

Shami told that he was watching the recent T20 World cup final from outside with South Africa needing 30 runs to win from as many deliveries- Shami felt the same when he did in Ahmedabad as the game run away from India’s hands. I was on the ground that day in 2023 when won 10 games in a row, all the team were thinking how to beat India. When that happens we should pray. When you make a mountain out of a molehill that sows doubts and overconfidence. I think the boys showed great patience this time around,” Md. Shami said.
Shami told to Shubhankar Mishra on his You Tube channel,” I believe that whoever took part in that competition, whoever was part of the team, deserved to win it.
“If I’m unfit today and sitting at home, I can only watch the sport as a fan. Those friends are my friends and colleagues, I can only let them know what I feel from the outside to help them play better. There is not much in our hands. As far as the winners medal is concerned, I also dream to win the World cup, “he added.
The pacer Shami also updated on his fitness.” I’m feeling better now. I’m able to train better now. The pain has started to subside. But when you start giving your body load, the stiffness begins to take over. But one gets used to it over time. I’m starting to get back on track. I hope (the comeback) is soon.”
