**Indore:** After almost a year on the sidelines, veteran pacer Mohammad Shami is set to make his return to cricket in the Ranji Trophy. He will be representing Bengal in their upcoming match against Madhya Pradesh, starting Wednesday.
Shami has been sidelined since the conclusion of the One Day World Cup last year due to an injury. The fast bowler is eager to regain his spot in the Indian national team and sees this match as a crucial step towards his comeback.
A strong performance in the Ranji Trophy could put Shami in contention for a spot in the Indian test squad for the upcoming tour of Australia.
