Mohammed Shami ruled out of the first two Tests against England

Mohammed Shami has been away from the cricket field for over a month now. After featuring in the three-match One Day International series against Australia, Shami was included in the playing XI of the first Test of the four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide Oval alongside pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav.

However, while batting against Pat Cummins, Shami suffered a fracture on his bowling arm and was advised bed rest for about 6 weeks. This resulted in Shami getting ruled out of the prestigious Test series and Mohammed Siraj replacing the right-arm quick in the second game as India went on to script history in Australia by winning the Test series by 2-1.

Meanwhile, due to his injury Mohammed Shami has also been excluded from the first two Test matches of the four-match Test series against England, starting from February 5 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
