Indian pacer Mohammed Shami on Thursday took to social media, sharing a video of him practicing batting in nets. Shami took to Instagram, showcasing a wide variety of shots including some flicks, drives, lofted hits and even a reverse sweep. Shami is a capable batter. In 64 Tests, he has scored 750 runs at an average of 12.09, with two half-centuries, both of them coming in England. He has often been a part of some match-saving, entertaining partnerships.

The veteran pacer had an outstanding ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at home, ending as the leading wicket taker with 24 wickets in just seven matches, including a seven-wicket haul against New Zealand in the semis. Notably, Shami was not named in the Indian squad for first two Tests of the five-match home series against England starting from January 25 as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.
