After India's defeat in the second Test against Australia, Indian captain Rohit Sharma gave a big update on Shami's fitness in the post-match press conference. He said that Shami's knee was swollen while playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Rohit said, "The doors are completely open for them. But we are monitoring their condition. While playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, his knee swollen again, which is affecting his Test match preparation. We have to be very careful. ”
Rohit further said, "We do not want them to come in such a situation and get injured while playing. We have to wait for them to be 100% fit. Because they have been away from cricket for a long time. We don't want to put pressure on them to come and perform for the team right away. ”
Shami difficult to play in the third Test
According to reports, Shami may be available for selection for the last two Tests. However, the time for the third Test to be held at the Gabba is short, so it is considered almost impossible for him to play in it.
Everyone's eyes are on Shami's spectacular performance and his return to the team. His fitness can prove to be important for Team India.
