Mohammed Shami Reacts to Missing Out on the Squad
Mohammed Shami has posted a video on his official Instagram account, in which he is seen sweating profusely in the gym. During this, he has written in the caption that I am trying and improve my bowling fitness day by day. I want to apologize to the fans and BCCI, but promise that I am working hard and will return to red-ball cricket soon.
Injury Concerns Keep Shami Off the Field
Mohammed Shami has been away from the cricket field since the ODI World Cup 2023 final due to an ankle injury. The injury was so serious that he also underwent surgery and after that, he remained in rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, as the BCCI’s target was to make him fit for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Reports had come out about him that while he was doing rehabilitation, his knee got swollen once again. In such a situation, it is being speculated that BCCI did not select him for the team due to his fitness. However, BCCI did not give any information about his fitness.
The Indian squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy includes:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Washington Sundar.
