Mohammed Shami made a return to the ICC event with a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy 2025 opening match. With this, he also completed 200 wickets in the format.

Throughout his career, Shami has been plagued by injuries but has consistently made strong comebacks. During the 2015 World Cup, he played through painkiller injections and finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker, with 17 wickets in seven matches.
