Mohammed Shami Thanks CAB After Being Felicitated for 2023 World Cup Feats
On Tuesday, September 17, Shami took to Instagram to share a special moment from the felicitation ceremony, where he received a prestigious award from CAB. Expressing his gratitude, Shami posted a video of the event and thanked the Bengal cricket board for their unwavering support. He captioned the post: “It’s moments like these that remind me why I started this journey. Thank you, CAB for this incredible recognition! Your support inspires me to aim higher 🏅.”
Shami’s journey in the 2023 ODI World Cup was nothing short of remarkable. Initially left out of India’s playing XI, he was brought into the lineup after all-rounder Hardik Pandya sustained an injury in a match against Bangladesh. In his first appearance of the tournament, Shami delivered a sensational five-wicket haul against New Zealand, marking the beginning of a dominant run in the World Cup. Throughout the tournament, Shami secured three five-wicket hauls and one four-wicket haul, underlining his exceptional skill and consistency.
Shami’s recognition by the Cricket Association of Bengal is a testament to his hard work and outstanding contributions to Indian cricket. His performance at the 2023 ODI World Cup will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the finest bowling displays in the tournament’s history.
