Ind vs BAN: Mohammed Shami, an Indian pacer, and Ravindra Jadeja, an all-arounder, are unlikely to recuperate in time for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. According to recent reports, Shami is doubtful for the series beginning on December 14 due to a right shoulder ailment, and Jadeja is currently healing from a knee injury he sustained in September.
Notably, Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out owing to fitness while Shami was selected for the current ODI series against Bangladesh but later withdrew due to a recent shoulder injury. In his final appearance for India, Shami recorded six wickets from six innings at the T20 World Cup in 2022. After returning from the white-ball tour of New Zealand, he rested.
According to a Cricbuzz report, Shami is undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. The staff at the NCA will be developing a recovery plan for Shami, but there is no word on when he will be able to leave.
With 216 wickets from 60 Test matches at an impressive average of 27.45, Shami has been a key component of India’s bowling attack in red-ball cricket, and his absence will be felt by the team, which is already dealing with injury problems in other formats.
India will want to win the third ODI on the road to redemption
In the meantime, Bangladesh defeated India in the second ODI match on Wednesday by a razor-thin margin (December 7). Once more, Indian bowlers had trouble gaining an advantage, which let the opposition form significant alliances. After battling to reach 69/6, Bangladesh pulled off a difficult 271/7 total, and the bowlers then held India to 266/9.
The third ODI is on Saturday (December 10), and the Men in Blue will be seeking a consolation victory, but their preparations have been hampered by new injuries. Captain Rohit Sharma injured his left thumb while fielding and is now out of the third ODI and is still a questionable starter for the first Test. Additionally, pacers Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Sen will not play in the third ODI due to injury. India would likely continue with five bowling options in the last ODI game in Chattogram without them.
