IPL: Ryan Harris heaps praise on Mohammed Shami

The Hindu  

Having battled weight and injury issues himself, former Australia pacer and KXIP bowling coach Ryan Harris is not surprised at the benefits a ‘leaner’ Mohammed Shami has reaped after drastically improving his fitness levels. Harris, one of the stars of Australia’s 5-0 rout of England in the 2013-14 Ashes at home before a chronic knee injury cut short his career, could not be happier at Shami’s success over the last 18 months including in Australia. He is bowling with good pace and good consistency and it is good to to see that.” Shami was one of the architects of India’s maiden Test series triumph in Australia earlier this year alongside Jasprit Bumrah, who has successfully defied convention with an unusual action which many thought could hamper his career. “But we could not do the same against India, we were not able to put sustained pressure and Pujara batted beautifully as well,” said Harris, who represented Australia in 27 Tests, taking 113 wickets at 23.52.
