Before the T20I series against England started last week in Kolkata, anticipation was Mohammed Shami will be at the top of his mark, ready once again to bowl for India after 15 months. But his name remained missing from the playing eleven, and the same happened in the second match in Chennai. So what exactly is the status of Shami's fitness?
Former India opener Aakash Chopra raised the question on his YouTube channel, expressing concern over the mystery over Shami's availability despite being named in the squad after a long wait since he returned to competitive cricket towards the end of last year.
