Fast bowler Mohammed Shami’s visit to England is difficult. The Indian Test team is to be announced for this tour on Sunday, 24 May. According to cricket website Cricinfo, Shami is not fully fit for bowling in Test cricket.
According to the report, the selectors are worried about this. A member of BCCI Medical Staff went to Lucknow to assess Shami’s fitness. Shami is currently bowling in IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, it has not been confirmed whether the selectors have taken any decision in the matter or not.
It is believed that the selectors will not include Shami in the Indian team, taking precautions, until the medical staff reports him to be fully fit for the test. Shami was selected in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy. He took 9 wickets in 5 matches. Shami made a strong comeback with 5 wickets against Bangladesh.
Knee pain after ankle surgery Shami underwent ankle surgery last year. After that he started having pain in his right knee. For this reason, he was not even selected for India’s tour of Australia.
