India's defeat against Australia in the Adelaide Test, which also highlighted the wicket-taking load on bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, once again brought Mohammed Shami's absence in focus. And while Rohit Sharma said the "door is open" for the veteran pacer, the India captain added that bringing the right-arm pacer into the squad for the remainder of the Border Gavaskar Trophy depends on the BCCI medical team's assessment.
Shami, who is currently playing the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) back home, returned to competitive cricket lately after a prolonged rehab following his ankle surgery.
