India and New Zealand will play a three-match Test series from October 16. The first match will be played in Bengaluru. The second Test will be held on 24 October in Pune and the third Test will be held on 1 November in Mumbai. Before the upcoming series, a bad news is coming for Team India and their fans. Actually, a big update has come on the injury of the team's senior fast bowler Mohammed Shami. Actually he is suffering from knee injury.

The 33-year-old pacer was at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for recovery. There Shami got injured again. According to information received from Times of India, there will be a delay in Mohammed Shami's return to the team. Earlier, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said that he would be fit and ready to return to the field before the Test series against New Zealand. However, this does not seem to be happening now.

Doubt over playing in Border Gavaskar Trophy also

At present, there is a cloud of doubt over whether Mohammed Shami will be a part of Team India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia or not. However, his fitness is going to be very important for the Indian team. It is noteworthy that it is going to be very difficult to defeat Australia in their own home. In such a situation, if a stalwart like Shami is not included in the Indian squad, then the Indian bowling attack will look weak.
