Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has recently emerged from a sensational 2023 ICC ODI World Cup campaign, where he showcased his exceptional talent by securing an impressive 24 wickets in just seven matches. Unfortunately, his World Cup journey came to an abrupt halt due to an ankle injury that required surgery, rendering him unable to participate in any further matches since November. In a recent interview with CNN News 18, Shami opened up about his World Cup experience, his struggles with injuries, and his aspirations for the future. During the interview, he was questioned about the challenges faced by Muslims in India, to which he responded by emphasizing the presence of religious harmony and advocating for the freedom to practice one’s religion without any hindrances. Shami also addressed the criticism he received for not performing Sajdah, a religious prostration, which he clarified during the interview. In addition, Shami shared heartwarming anecdotes about his participation in Hindu festivals, such as Holi, where he celebrated alongside his neighbors, who ensured that he and his family remained free from any colored powders. The cricketer, who has a daughter named Aaira from his previous marriage, expressed his longing to reunite with her and conveyed his hopes for her well-being and future success. Currently, Shami is in the process of recovering from his ankle injury, and although there is no official confirmation on his return, it is highly unlikely that he will participate in the upcoming Test series against England.
