The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) found itself in an awkward situation during their annual awards ceremony on September 14th. While honoring star Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami for his exceptional performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup, a glaring error occurred on the giant screen behind him. Instead of displaying his name correctly, the screen mistakenly flashed 'Shamit', leaving the audience and Shami himself in a state of surprise. Images of this misspelling quickly went viral on social media, highlighting the oversight by the CAB.
Shami, who has been sidelined since the ODI World Cup final due to an ankle injury, received the award for being the leading wicket-taker in the tournament. He had delivered a stellar performance for the Indian team, claiming 24 wickets in seven matches. Despite his absence from competitive cricket since the World Cup, Shami remains a crucial player for the Indian team and his fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
During the ceremony, Shami provided a positive update about his recovery, assuring everyone that he is working hard to regain full fitness and make a comeback soon. He emphasized the importance of a smooth return and avoiding any further injury risks. He is currently undergoing rehabilitation and has even started bowling again, but he is determined to be fully fit before returning to the field, whether it be for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, New Zealand, or Australia. To ensure his full recovery, Shami is open to playing domestic matches before returning to the international stage, demonstrating his commitment to his performance and his team.
