IND vs AUS 3rd Test: Mohammed Shami return to the Test arena has hit another roadblock, raising concerns within Team India. With Shami’s playing kit already en route to Australia and his Australian visa prepared, the seasoned pacer’s return to international cricket remains uncertain. India captain Rohit Sharma recently cast doubt on the pace spearhead’s participation in the upcoming 3rd Test against Australia, revealing that Shami has developed swelling in his knee once again after playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) T20 competition.
Will Mohammed Shami play in IND vs AUS 3rd Test
Mohammed Shami’s potential comeback was eagerly anticipated by fans and experts alike, especially given the lackluster performance of India’s pace attack in the ongoing Test series. However, Rohit Sharma’s comments regarding Shami’s physical condition have cast a shadow over his immediate return. According to the Indian captain, although Shami’s playing kit is ready and he had hoped to join the squad soon, the swelling in his knee has caused serious concerns.
Despite the setbacks, there is still hope for Team India as Shami could potentially feature in the final two Tests of the series. According to a source close to the cricketer, the NCA fitness clearance for Shami is expected to be a mere formality after he completes his T20 commitments. His playing kit is already on its way to Australia, with the expectation that the veteran pacer will join the squad once he gets the green light from the NCA medical team.
Shami’s inclusion in the upcoming Tests would provide a much-needed boost to the Indian attack, offering a level of experience and skill that the team has sorely lacked in his absence. His partnership with Bumrah would undoubtedly be a formidable one, offering India a genuine chance to make a comeback in the series, particularly in the high-pressure Test matches ahead.
