India's 15-member team was announced for the 3-Test series against New Zealand. But, Shami was not selected among those 15 players. Regarding Shami, the selectors said that he is not ready to play the Test series with New Zealand. In such a situation, the fear of the fans of Team India appeared to be wearing the garb of reality. The question is whether the fears of Team India fans have come true? Now you might be wondering whether this is fear? The way Shami's fitness has become a challenge for Rohit and Gambhir, it has given the fear of the fans a chance to dominate. Simply put, the fans' fear is linked to Shami's fitness.
Team India's fast bowler Mohammed Shami is struggling with the problem of ankle injury. The expectation was that he would return with the Indian team's domestic season. But this could not happen. The injury of Shami, who played his last international match in November last year, first ruled him out of the Test series against Bangladesh and now he is not even ready to play against New Zealand. This is the reason why the fear of the fans has gone home.
Indian cricket fans are now afraid that Shami might be out of the Test series against Australia like the Bangladesh and New Zealand series. Obviously, difficulties may increase in those circumstances. Shami's absence may be missed. Because, Team India has to play the Test series against Australia not at home but on Kangaroo soil.
