Due to a hand injury, senior fast bowler Mohammed Shami will not be participating in the One-Day International series against Bangladesh, which will begin on Sunday, according to a source from the BCCI on Saturday.
It has been discovered that Mohammed Shami sustained the injury while participating in a training session shortly after his return from Australia, where the Indian squad competed in the T20 World Cup and was eliminated in the semifinals.
Shami might also be unable to play in the following two-match test series, which will begin on December 14 in Chittagong. ” Mohammed Shami has been sidelined with a hand injury that he received shortly after returning to training in Australia during the Twenty20 World Cup.
He is expected to report to the NCA, and he did not travel with the team on December 1st as previously planned “a top BCCI source who is familiar with the matter said this to PTI under the condition that they remain anonymous.
The severity of Mohammed Shami wounds is not yet fully understood.
As India prepares to compete in the 2019 World Cup, the Bengal speedster, who is 33 years old, plays an important role in the team’s one-day international strategy.
If Shami is unable to play in the Test series, India’s head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma will be concerned about the team’s chances of making it to the World Test Championship final, which will be held at the Oval in June. India must win every game in the series to keep their chances alive.
“Shami’s absence from three One-Day International games is obviously a factor, but bigger worry is his likely absence from Tests where he is scheduled to spearhead the attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah,” added the source. “Shami’s absence from three ODI games is clearly a problem.”
Over the course of 60 Test matches, Shami has amassed 216 wickets as a bowler.
