He Had A Swelling On His Knee, Don't Want 'undercooked Shami' In Australia: Rohit
Border Gavaskar Trophy: India skipper Rohit Sharma provided a fresh update on Mohammed Shami's recorvery and said it is difficult to make a call on the senior pacer's return to the mix for the Border Gavaskar Trophy as he had developed a "swelling on his knee", which "put him back a little bit in his recovery".
Shami suffered an injury during last year's ODI World Cup and had undergone surgery. The 34-year-old quick was India's highest wicket-taker with 24 wickets in seven matches at an average of 10.70 and strike rate of 12.20 at the marquee tournament. He has not played any form of cricket since the defeat in the final to Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium back on November 19.
"It is pretty difficult for us to make a call on whether he will be fit for this series or the Australia series. He recently had a setback - he had a swelling on his knee, which was quite unusual," Rohit told reporters, on the eve of India's first Test against New Zealand, in Bengaluru.
