'Nothing is beyond your reach' - Mohammed Shami provides glimpse into training regime at NCA

Indian Pacer, Mohammed Shami is at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, completing his rehabilitation process after undergoing an ankle operation. Shami played his last game for India in the World Cup 2023 finals against Australia on November 19 last year. On August 28, Shami shared a video of him indulging in the recuperation process and training at the NCA.

"Your question about Shami is right, but I cannot give you any answer on Mayank Yadav as there is no guarantee whether he will be in the team or no. But he is potentially a good fast bowler, and we are looking after him. He is currently in the NCA. Shami will be there because he is experienced, and we need him in Australia,” said Shah.
