Team India has suffered a big blow before the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Before leaving for Australia tour, a bad news has come for Team India. Actually, Mohammed Shami has once again got injured. According to the report of Times of India, Shami, who was recovering from an ankle injury, has now suffered a side strain injury. Due to this, his chances of returning in the Border Gavaskar Trophy have almost been closed. Now his last hope of playing in the 5-match Test series to be held on Australia tour has also ended.

Out of Ranji due to injury

Bengal has to face Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh in the next few days. Shami was expected to play in it. In these two matches he had to prove his fitness for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. But Times of India has quoted its reliable sources as saying that Shami, who was recovering from an ankle injury, has now suffered a side strain injury. This is a type of muscle injury.

Because of this he did not even get a place in the Ranji Trophy team. The selectors of Bengal Cricket Association announced the squad for the next two Ranji Trophy matches but Shami's name is not in it. Let us tell you that earlier he had a problem of swelling in his knee, due to which he missed the New Zealand series.

Big blow to Team India

Mohammed Shami was seen practicing bowling at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru just a few days ago. Recently, during an event, he also talked about being fit. Shami had revealed that he has an idea of ​​what kind of pace attack the Indian team needs in Australia. For this he is working hard and trying his best to spend as much time as possible on the field.

Before going to Australia, he had also talked about playing in Ranji Trophy. However, now he will have to wait a long time to return. This has also dealt a big blow to the Indian team. After losing to New Zealand, the Indian team wanted to field with a strong squad. But due to the absence of Shami, the bowling may look weak because Siraj is not in form.
