India's Calculated Approach to Mohammed Shami's Return

Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma emphasizes caution regarding Mohammed Shami's potential return to international cricket after his ankle surgery. Shami must prove his fitness domestically before rejoining the team, especially given concerns about knee issues on his comeback trail, despite India's current need for a seasoned seamer.

India's cricket captain Rohit Sharma has highlighted the team's cautious approach towards Mohammed Shami's return from injury. He stated the team will ensure Shami's fitness is beyond doubt before considering him for the ongoing test series in Australia.

Shami's absence since the last World Cup due to an ankle injury has been felt, particularly with Jasprit Bumrah lacking support against Australia. Though Shami has resumed domestic cricket, a recent knee swelling has raised concerns.

Sharma reiterated the importance of the National Cricket Academy's approval regarding Shami's health. Meanwhile, Bumrah's performance continues to shine, with Akash Deep also contributing significantly in India's recent draw in Brisbane.
