NEW DELHI: India’s success in the upcoming 2025 ICC Champions Trophy could heavily depend on Mohammed Shami, especially when the team's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, has been ruled out of the tournament owing to back injury.
Shami, who recently returned to international cricket after a 14-month injury layoff after sustaining an ankle injury during the 2023 World Cup final, is still struggling and has yet to get back to his full rhythm.
