Putting an end to the speculations around Mohammed Shami's potential return to international cricket for the fourth and fifth Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, the BCCI's medical team has ruled the star quick out of the tour due to swelling on his left knee.
The BCCI update on Shami's fitness has come days after India skipper Rohit Sharma called on the National Cricket Academy to provide an update on the seamer's progress upon being asked once again about his availability at the end of the drawn Brisbane Test.
"Shami bowled 43 overs in the Ranji Trophy match for Bengal against Madhya Pradesh in November. Following this, he played in all nine games of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he also engaged in additional bowling sessions on the sidelines to build his bowling volume in order to get ready for the Test matches," the BCCI said in a statement.
