MBCCI has decided to treat Kamadu Shami’s ankle injury with specialist doctors who treat England players.

Although Mohammad Shami was not initially given a chance in last year’s World Cup series, Shami took advantage of the opportunity after a few matches and became the player who took the most wickets in the shortest time. Shami injured his ankle after playing with full breath.

After this, Shami did not participate in any of the series that the Indian team played against South Africa and Afghanistan. In fact, Shami has not played in any tournament since the World Cup. The reason is that his injury has not yet healed.

In this situation, the Indian team will next play against England in a series of 5 Test matches. Out of these 5 Tests, the Indian team players were selected for the first two Tests. Mohammed Shami is not in that list.

But the BCCI planned to field Shami in the last three Tests. For that, Shami was taken to doctors and specialists for a fitness test. It was then revealed that his ankle injury had not yet healed.

BCCI

BCCI realized that Shami will not be able to play in any of the upcoming IPL series and T20 World Cup series if this continues, BCCI took a hasty decision. BCCI has decided to take Mohammed Shami to the specialist doctors treating England players.

There is good reason for BCCI to take this decision. Because Bumrah and Shami are the two pillars of Indian bowling. If both of them bowl alternately, the opposition can’t even catch a breath. Shami has the ability to face the England team who are playing erratically especially in Test matches.

It became known in last year’s World Cup that if the England players decided to hit a boundary, they would have to face Shami’s wicket. Thus, if Shami does not participate in the England Test series, it is considered to be a big setback for the team.
