The Border-Gavaskar Trophy of 5 test matches will start between India and Australia from 22nd November. Veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami is not a part of the Indian team in this series. He has not yet recovered from his injury, due to which he has been kept out of this tour, which is also a big blow for Team India. But before the start of this series, Team India has found Shami's replacement somewhere. Actually, an Indian fast bowler has performed amazingly in the unofficial test match against Australia A. This player is also a part of the main squad.

This fast bowler will fill the void of Shami
