Mohammed Shami has been side lined of the India-New Zealand Test series due to knee injury, which gave India a major setback.
Rohit Sharma has recently confirmed that they don’t want to rush him into international cricket, just wants Shami to be fit and fine.
Rohit Sharma said, “To be honest, right now it is very difficult for us to make a call on him [Shami] whether he will be fit for this series or Australia series. He recently had a setback. He had a swelling in his knee, which was quite unusual while he was in the process of getting fit, getting close to 100%. That put him back a little bit in his recovery.”
“So he had to start again fresh. Right now, he is at NCA. He is working with the physios, the doctors at NCA. We are keeping our fingers crossed. We want him to be fit. We want him to be 100% fit. More than anything else, we don’t want to bring an undercooked Shami to Australia. That is not going to be the right decision for us.”
