Before the Perth Test, Bumrah gave a statement regarding Shami, told whether he will join the team on the tour or not.
All cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the start of the 5-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, the first match of which will be played at Perth Stadium from 22nd November. While Pat Cummins is handling the responsibility of captaining the Australian team in this series, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen in the captaincy role in the first test match for Team India. Rohit Sharma, whose second child was born on November 15, decided to spend some more time with his family and hence could not join the squad for the Test match. The Indian team has arrived on this tour with many new faces. At the same time, experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami was also not selected in the team due to not being completely fit. However, Shami proved his fitness by returning in the Ranji Trophy last week, after which speculations about his return started. Now Bumrah has also given a big update on the question asked about Shami in the press conference held a day before the Perth Test match.
If things go well, you can watch them in Australia
In response to the question asked about Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah said that he is a very important part of Team India and he has also returned to the field. I have full hope that the management is constantly keeping an eye on Shami Bhai’s fitness. If everything goes well then you can see him playing on this tour also. Let us tell you that Team India has to play the second test match of this series from 6th December, in which there will be a gap of about 10 days between the first and second test. While Rohit Sharma would have joined the team before the Adelaide Test match, it is expected that Shami can also be a part of the squad before the last four Test matches of this series.
Shami took 7 wickets in Ranji Trophy
Mohammed Shami, while playing for the Bengal team, impressed everyone with his bowling in the last Ranji Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh played in Indore in which he took a total of 7 wickets in the match. Apart from this, in the second innings he also made an important contribution with the bat and played an inning of 37 runs. Bengal team had won this match by 11 runs.
