Mohammed Shami: Fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who has been out of Team India for a long time, has claimed that he is completely fit. Due to ankle surgery, Shami has not played any international match yet after the final match of the ODI World Cup. However, now he is planning his comeback from the series to be played against Australia.
This statement of Shami is being considered important because captain Rohit Sharma had given the exact opposite statement. He said that we do not want to take unfit Shami for the series against Australia. First they should focus on being 100 percent fit.
Shami has been out of the team for a long time
During the last ODI World Cup, Mohammed Shami was the mainstay of Team India’s fast bowling but after the final match, he is leaving Team India. He has been rested due to an ankle injury. Wami had undergone ankle surgery and is under the observation of the BCCI medical team.
After the Bengaluru Test match against New Zealand, Shami also bowled on the center wicket. After the three-Test series against New Zealand, India has to play a series against Australia and Shami has set the target of comeback from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be played against Australia.
Captain Rohit not willing to take Australia
In the case of Shami, Team India captain Rohit Sharma says that he does not want Shami to be included in the team going to tour Australia. Sharma said that the truth is that it is very difficult for Shami to be selected in the team for the series played against Australia.
Another injury left his knees swollen and he had to start all over again. These days he is practicing at NCA with doctors and physio. We hope that he will become 100 percent fit soon but we do not want to take unfit Shami on the tour of Australia.
Shami confident of being fit for the series
Shami, on the other hand, says that he is feeling better and fit. He said that he was very happy with the bowling done on the Bengaluru wicket on Sunday. He said that earlier I was bowling with half run-up because I did not want to take too much pressure, but on Sunday I bowled with full run-up.
Shami said that I did not feel any kind of problem or pain. The five-Test series against Australia is scheduled to start from November 22 in Perth. There is still some time for this series. Everyone wants to know whether I will be able to make a comeback from this series or not. I believe that since there is still some time, I can make a comeback from this series.
Expressed desire to play in Ranji matches before the series
Before the series against Australia, Shami wants to take part in some Ranji matches. Shami said that I want to play some matches for my state team Bengal during the current Ranji Trophy. I have focused my mind on keeping myself completely fit. I am always thinking how strong I can be for the series against Australia.
Shami said that I am fully aware of what kind of attack is required against Australia and I will have to spend more time on the field. Cricket fans are also keeping an eye on the return of Mohammed Shami to Team India. The series to be played against Australia is considered very important and in such a situation, it remains to be seen whether Shami will be able to make a comeback in this series or not. However, the report of NCA doctors and physio will also play an important role in taking any decision regarding Shami.
