Mohammed Shami has put his injury layoff in perspective, stressing that injuries are part and parcel of sports. 

“If you have hunger for success, you can make a comeback. I kept telling myself this while I was injured. I did not allow my self-confidence to go down and just concentrated on the rehabilitation schedule,” the India fast bowler said during a function organised by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Monday when the state’s women’s team was felicitated and Wednesday’s inauguration of the Jhulan Goswami Stand was announced.
