Skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid would be worried if Shami misses the Test series. India need to win every game to stay in contention for the upcoming World Test Championship final at the Oval in June.
“Shami’s absence from three ODI games is definitely a factor. But the bigger worry is his likely absence from Tests. He is supposed to spearhead the attack in Jasprit Bumrah’s absence,” said the source.
