BENGALURU: Mohammed Shami’s right hand has more sleight than a magician. A simple cock of his wrist can outfox the best batters in the world. But can he unlock the sorcery and help India reclaim the ICC Champions Trophy after 12 years?
The fans will certainly expect Shami to hit his strides straightaway in the marquee event because India’s primary strike weapon Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out due to an injury.
But there are multiple concerns as well about Shami’s readiness for an event of this magnitude. India start their Champions Trophy campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh in Dubai. PTI
