Fans are eagerly waiting for his return. A big update has come out regarding when he will finally return to the field.

When will Shami return to the field?

According to reports, Mohammed Shami is likely to return to competitive cricket for his domestic team Bengal in the Ranji Trophy.

After this, Bengal has to play its second match against Bihar in Kolkata from October 18. There is only a gap of two days between the two matches, so it is very unlikely that he will play in the second match as well.

In such a situation, Shami is expected to play a match against New Zealand before going on a big tour of Australia.
