Mohammed Shami Injury: The way for Mohammed Shami to return to Team India is completely closed! The big update came before the Australia tour
Team India suffered a major setback before the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Before leaving for the Australia tour, bad news has come for Team India. Actually, Mohammed Shami has been injured once again. According to the Times of India report, Shami, who was recovering from an ankle injury, has now suffered a side strain injury. Due to this, his way back in the Border Gavaskar Trophy has almost closed. Now his last hope of playing in the 5-match Test series on the Australia tour has also ended.
Out of Ranji due to injury
Bengal has to face Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh in the next few days. Shami was expected to play in these matches. In these two matches, he had to prove his fitness for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. But the Times of India has reported quoting its reliable sources that Shami, who is recovering from an ankle injury, has now suffered a side strain injury. This is a kind of muscle injury.
Due to this, he did not get a place in the Ranji Trophy team. The Bengal Cricket Association selectors announced the squad for the next two Ranji Trophy matches but Shami's name is not in it. Let us tell you that earlier he had a problem of swelling in his knee, due to which he missed the New Zealand series.
Big blow to Team India
Mohammed Shami was seen practicing bowling at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru a few days ago. He had also talked about being fit during a recent event. Shami had revealed that he has an idea of what kind of pace attack the Indian team needs in Australia. He is working hard for this and is trying his best to spend as much time on the field as possible.
Before going to Australia, he had also talked about playing in the Ranji Trophy. However, now he will have to wait a long time for his return. This has also given a big blow to the Indian team. After losing to New Zealand, the Indian team wanted to play with a strong squad. But due to the absence of Shami, the bowling may look weak, because Siraj is not in form.
