    IPL 2025: Mohammed Shami expresses interest in captaincy role

    What's the story

    Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has said that he is ready to lead a team in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

    The revelation comes amid speculations over his future with the Gujarat Titans and his recovery from ankle surgery.

    Although his IPL career remains uncertain, Shami said he would take up the opportunity to lead a team if given one.

    Career trajectory

    Shami's IPL journey and future prospects

    Shami has had a varied IPL career, having played for teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans.

    He joined the Titans in 2022 but couldn't play the 2024 season as he was recovering from ankle surgery.

    Rumors are rife that the Titans might release him ahead of the upcoming auction, paving the way for other franchises to bag his services.

    Statement 

    Here is what Shami said 

    "If one gets the opportunity, I don't tink many will deny that role. It's not a lot different, all you need to do is know you team, your teammates and that is gonna do you job," Shami said in a recent interview with Sports Today.

    Though Shami doesn't boast much leadership experience, he is certain to get many takers if he comes in the auction pool.

    Rehabilitation progress

    Shami's recovery and potential return to international cricket

    Shami, the highest wicket-taker in 2023 ODI World Cup (24 scalps), had undergone ankle surgery after the tournament.

    He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at National Cricket Academy under the supervision of BCCI's medical team.

    Although he is not a part of India's ongoing Test series against New Zealand, Shami is keen to return in time for the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
