Shami makes quiet comeback for Bengal

India pacer Mohammed Shami returned wicket-less from his 10 overs in a subdued comeback to competitive cricket after 360 days as Bengal struggled in their Ranji Trophy Group C game against Madhya Pradesh. Electing to field first, MP bowled out Bengal for 228 and were 103/1 at stumps. Bowling on the Holkar Stadium green-top, the 34-year-old Shami, who was sidelined by an Achilles tendon injury and underwent surgery, returned figures of 10-1-34-0. Shami, who was last seen in action in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in Ahmedabad on November 19 last year, was also seen for the first time playing with his younger brother Mohammed Kaif, who took the only wicket to fall in the MP innings.
