London: In what would come as good news for Indian cricket fans, ace pacer Mohammed Shami on Monday underwent a successful surgery on his heel to repair his Achilles tendon. In a post he shared to give an update on his surgery, he also said it would take some time to get back to full fitness.

“Just had successful heel surgery on my Achilles tendon. Recovery will take some time, but I’m looking forward to getting back on my feet,” Shami said in his post on X, formerly Twitter.

Shami, who recently became an Arjuna award winner, was one of the top performers in the ODI World Cup in 2023. Shami finished the 2023 World Cup as the leading wicket-taker with 24, one more than Australian Adam Zampa.
