The T20 series between India and South Africa ended in a 1-1 draw yesterday, with both teams putting up a strong fight. With the T20 series concluded, all eyes are now on the upcoming ODI and Test series.
The first Test match between India and South Africa is set to begin on 26th Centurion. However, India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who was included in the Test squad, is facing challenges as he is yet to fully recover from an ankle injury.
Shami is currently undergoing intensive training at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, hoping to recover in time for the Test series. However, it is reported that he will not be traveling with the Test squad, which includes captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Ashwin, as they are leaving for South Africa today. This strongly suggests that Shami will likely miss the Test series against South Africa.
Shami’s absence from the Test series comes as a blow to India, especially considering his recent performance in the World Cup where he took a total of 24 wickets. It is expected that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will announce Shami’s replacement in the coming days.
As cricket fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming series, the focus now shifts to the remaining squad members as they prepare to face off against South Africa in what is sure to be an exhilarating Test series.
