Mohammed Shami is looking to “get back on my feet soon” after undergoing surgery in his right Achilles tendon in London on Monday. This all but rules him out of IPL 2024, which will be played from March 22 to May 26.

Shami hasn’t played any cricket since India’s ODI World Cup campaign, where he played a key part in India’s run to the final, finishing as the leading wicket-taker in the competition with 24 wickets in seven matches at an average of 10.70 and strike rate of 12.20.

He played through pain during the tournament, taking injections to treat his ankle, and has been away from cricket since.
