Jay Shah Reaction Mohammad Shami Fitness: Mohammed Shami was last seen playing for India in the 2023 ODI World Cup. The Indian fast bowler has recently been seen practicing at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, but there are still question marks over his return. As the India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy is approaching, concerns are growing whether Shami will be able to return by then or not. BCCI secretary Jay Shah has broken his silence on this subject.
Earlier it was being claimed that Mohammed Shami could return in the India vs Bangladesh Test series to be held in September. But now it is clear that Shami will neither play in the Duleep Trophy nor in the Test series against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Team India has to play 3 Test matches against New Zealand in mid-October. If Shami becomes fit, he can be seen playing in the Ranji Trophy before that.
Jai Shah’s statement came out
Now BCCI secretary Jay Shah was asked a question regarding Mohammed Shami’s fitness and his return during a conversation with ANI. He said, “Whether Mohammed Shami will play against Australia or not, it depends only on his fitness. The decision on this subject will be taken on the basis of the NCA report.”
Recently, there were speculations that VVS Laxman’s agreement for the post of NCA President is ending. There were speculations about him leaving NCA, but Jai Shah has now confirmed that Laxman has been on the post of President since 2021 and will continue in this role in future as well.
Shami is very successful in Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Mohammed Shami has always performed brilliantly in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. So far in the history of this series, he has taken 40 wickets in 11 matches. Talking about Indian fast bowlers, Shami is the highest wicket-taker in this historic series after Zaheer Khan (61), Ishant Sharma (59) and Umesh Yadav (51).
