India sweat on Shami fitness

Shami last played for India at the 2023 50-over World Cup and is recovering from a foot injury as well as surgery on his Achilles tendon.

He faces a race against time with India travelling to Australia for a five-Test tour starting on 22 November.

“We are keeping our fingers crossed, we want him to be 100% fit,” Rohit said ahead of the first of three Tests against New Zealand, starting in Bengaluru today.

“More than anything else we don't want to bring an undercooked Shami to Australia,” Rohit added.
