Mohammad Shami’s availability for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Shami is an experienced fast bowler for the Indian team and has contributed with the bat in the Test format as well. His recovery before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is crucial, as this series holds great importance for India. Shami has performed well in this series before.
Although the BCCI has not issued an official statement on Shami’s fitness, it is widely speculated that he will remain unavailable for the New Zealand series. If he will not recover from injury BCCI will be looking to finalize their bowling line-up quickly, with potential replacements.
