After a long break from International cricket, Mohammed Shami making his comeback from upcoming West Indies Tour. Mohammed Shami said he is looking forward to playing in West Indies for the Test Series. Mohammed Shami told bcci.tv that, “I have played there earlier and I haven’t found them (the pitches) to be that different. They are almost similar to India. Yes, in the earlier times we would hear that the wicket is bouncy and all that. But, now the wickets are similar to those in Asia.”
Mohammed Shami further went on to say that, “So, there is no need to be excited as a fast bowler that you will get bounce and carry. According to me, it is important to focus on line and length. I have an idea of the conditions and one will have to be prepared.” Mohammed Shami has last played a Test Match in January 2015 before he got injured.
Mohammed Shami also said that West Indies will be a tough challenge on their home ground for us. “West Indies is the kind of team that can give you a run for your money on a given day and so you have to be very focused and aware. We have to focus on line and length. I will try to give my best and as a unit the effort would be to bowl tight spells and get wickets,” he further added.
