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

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.
Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly stated that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will do well in the forthcoming Champions trophy. "I thought after getting a hundred in the Perth Test, Virat will score heavily in the series, but all cricketers have to go through lean form, He has scored 80 international hundreds so far.
