Veteran Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has reportedly been ruled out of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to a left ankle injury. Mohammed Shami is likely to undergo surgery in the United Kingdom, according to the latest PTI report.
Mohammed Shami has been out of action since the World Cup 2023 final against Australia, where India suffered a heartbreaking loss. The pacer was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, securing 24 wickets in seven matches at an impressive average of 10.70.

“Shami was in London in last week of January to take special ankle injections and he was told that after three weeks, he can start light running and take it from thereon.”
“But the injection hasn’t worked and now the only option left is surgery. He will shortly leave for UK for surgery. IPL seems out of question,” a senior BCCI source said on the condition of anonymity, as quoted by PTI.
