Shami has not played T20I cricket since the previous edition of ICC T20 World Cup in November last year. After recovering from COVID-19, he has been training at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

This bout of the virus had kept him out of white-ball series against Australia and South Africa at home. He last featured in a competitive cricket match during India`s tour of England back in July. Mohammed Shami seemed elated while jetting off for the all-important ICC T20 CWC and shared few pictures on his Instagram page.
