In the Kanpur Test, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets and won the series 2-0. Despite this, the tension between captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir has increased. The reason behind this is Mohammed Shami's injury. Actually, Shami, who returned after surgery for an ankle injury, was doing rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. During this, his knee has swollen. In view of the Test against New Zealand and the Australia tour, Shami's new injury has put Team India in worry.

Will be out for 1.5 to 2 months

Mohammed Shami is a part of Team India's main pace attack. He has been out of the team for about 10 months due to injury. After the surgery in February, he has now started rehab. According to the Times of India report, he was recovering fast at the NCA but in the meantime his knee got swollen. This may delay Mohammed Shami's return. It may take him about 6 to 8 weeks. Shami was going to return to cricket by participating in the Ranji Trophy from October 11 for Bengal.

Captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir were thinking of giving him a chance against New Zealand from October 16 before going on the Australia tour. However, now it seems difficult to happen. At the same time, only 2 months are left for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to start between India and Australia. This 5-match Test series starting November 22 before the WTC final will be very important.

It was very important for Mohammad Shami to be fit before this series. Because he has not played any match since the 2023 ODI World Cup final. At the same time, Shami played his last Test match in the WTC final against Australia at the Oval in June 2023. In such a situation, it is important for him to get fit before time and practice.

The surgery took 4 months.

According to the sources of Times of India, this is a big setback for the medical team of NCA. Because the entire medical team was working on Shami for about 1 year. Now the medical team is busy making him fit again. The medical team of BCCI keeps the recovery process of players slow. Surgery is not done on any player unless it is needed. In the case of Jaspreet Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul, they took the help of rehab. Talking about Shami, he took 4 months to complete the surgery.
