NEW DELHI: Ahead of the first Test versus New Zealand in Bengaluru, India captain Rohit Sharma provided an update on Mohammed Shami and revealed that the seamer, who has been away from cricket since November 2023, has developed "swelling in his knee" and it has "put him back a little bit in his recovery".
"To be honest, right now it is very difficult for us to make a call on him whether he will be fit for this series or Australia series. He recently had a setback. He had a swelling in his knee, which was quite unusual while he was in the process of getting fit, getting close to 100%. That put him back a little bit in his recovery," said Rohit at the pre-match press-conference.
