Team India has been announced for the Champions Trophy and like always, this time also Indian fans and experts have started discussing which player's selection is wrong and who has been treated unfairly. This discussion will continue for the next few days but in the meantime, the Indian team's attention has now shifted to the action on the field. The T20 match series between India and England is starting and in its first practice session, something happened, which was seen in Indian cricket after 427 days. This special sight was the return of Mohammed Shami in the practice session of Team India.

The 5-match T20 series between India and England is starting from January 22 in Kolkata. After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian team is taking the field for a series of any format for the first time. This series is special for Team India because for the first time after the World Cup 2023, star fast bowler Mohammed Shami is returning to international cricket and a glimpse of him was also seen on Sunday, January 19.

Shami's return after 427 days

Team India reached Kolkata on Saturday, January 18 and on Sunday evening, the Indian players started practice for the first time under the supervision of coach Gautam Gambhir. During this time, everyone's eyes were especially on Mohammed Shami, who appeared in the practice session of the Indian team as a member after 427 days. Shami bowled continuously during this period. This scene is very special for the Indian fans because Team India has missed Shami in the last one year. This moment was also special for Shami because he got a chance to practice with many young players who recently joined Team India.

Important series before Champions Trophy

Now everyone is waiting for January 22 when Shami will return to international cricket after 14 months. This match and this entire series is very important for Shami, because he will have to prove his match fitness. If Shami performs well in this series, then it will be a relief news for Team India from the Champions Trophy point of view because he is a part of that team. After suffering a heel injury in the World Cup 2023, Shami made a comeback by playing one match of Ranji Trophy in November last year and then made a comeback by playing a few matches of Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.
