The second match of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is being played in Adelaide. The Indian team is lagging behind in this match. Meanwhile, a big update has come out on the team's fast bowler Mohammed Shami. There have been reports for some time that Shami can be included in Team India's squad during this series. BCCI is closely examining Shami's fitness for this. When Shami was playing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match for Bengal in Rajkot, a team of NCA had gone there to watch him closely. But at present there seems to be little hope of Shami going to Australia.

Big update on Mohammed Shami's fitness

Shami had returned to the field some time ago after ankle surgery and long rehabilitation. Shami is currently playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The medical team of NCA and the selectors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India are keeping a close eye on him, after which it is expected that Shami can be sent to Australia soon. But Shami has not yet been declared fit by the National Cricket Academy.

The team keeping an eye on Shami's fitness included a national selector Shivsundar Das, BCCI's science wing head Nitin Patel and strength and conditioning trainer Nishant Bardule. But the Sports Science Wing of BCCI has not yet been able to give Shami's clearance report to the board. In such a situation, he will not go to Australia for the time being and will continue playing in the Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Let us tell you, the Bengal team is in the knockout, which means Shami is almost certain to play in these important matches. At the same time, Team India will have to wait longer for Shami.

Played a match for Team India 1 year ago

Mohammed Shami has not been able to be a part of Team India for the last one year. He was injured during the ODI World Cup 2023. Shami had undergone surgery in February 2024 due to ankle injury. In such a situation, he had recently returned to the field from Ranji Trophy and now he is playing in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. It is believed that BCCI has made complete preparations to send Shami to Australia. Shami's visa is also ready, just waiting for the fitness clearance, which has not been received yet.
