India's poor bowling... bcci calls shami to Australia!?
Ahead of the 4th Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be held in melbourne, it has been reported that mohammed shami may join the indian team. The indian team, which is touring australia, is playing in the 5-match Border Gavaskar series. After winning the first Test match, the second Test match began yesterday at the Oval. This match is being played as a day-night match with the pink ball. Batting first, the indian team was all out for 180 runs, unable to counter Starc's fast bowling. In this situation, the Australian team, which batted first, scored 337 runs in the first innings. Australia's Labhushan and Travis Head played well and added runs. Travis Head scored an impressive 140 runs off 141 balls.
No one has bowled as well as Australia's Starc has bowled well, except for indian spinner Bumrah. Especially the current bowlers do not have the ability to swing from both ends. Due to this, the indian team has stumbled a lot in bowling. Siraj and hardik Rana have bowled well, but they have given away runs. australia has taken a lead of more than 150 runs. The indian team has lost 5 wickets in the 2nd innings and is stumbling.
Shami has been on a break from international cricket since the 2023 One Day World Cup. He has been suffering from an injury and is currently on complete rest. He has recently resumed his bowling training. He bowled in this year's Ranji Trophy. Following that, he has played in all the matches of the syed mushtaq ali Trophy (SMAT). He has played 7 matches in the SMAT t20 League series and taken 8 wickets. While shami was earlier expected to be in the Australian series, the bcci medical team has advised him not to bother him now as he has not fully recovered.

Due to this, he has not been included in the indian team for the Border Gavaskar series. In this situation, there are reports that shami may join the indian team for the fourth and fifth Test matches. Sources from the bcci side say that the medical team has said that he will be fully recovered by then. The NCA reported that shami has lost almost six kilos after following a strict diet. Earlier, former coach ravi shastri had said, "Shami is playing a lot of domestic matches. brisbane may be too early but definitely shami can come to melbourne and Sydney."
