Mohammed Shami has been recalled to India's T20 squad for the tour of New Zealand and though success can never be guaranteed, he is fit and ready for any challenge. Shami went wicketless in Tuesday's ODI against Australia but he has the wherewithal to come back and dazzle like he often does either in whites or in the blue limited overs attire. The New Zealand tour is something that the pacer will enjoy thanks to the swinging conditions on offer in Kiwiland. He has the performance to back his optimism with him claiming a total of 77 wickets in 2019.

A recent stint at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore has done wonders for his fitness and staying away from his favourite biryani is only one of the things Shami has sacrificed to get into peak condition.
