Rohit further mentioned that Shami is still having some issues with his knee while playing domestic cricket and the Indian team management won't risk playing him unless he is fully fit.
"There's no way we want to take that chance unless we are like, not a hundred percent, 200 hundred percent sure. We're not going to take any risk. But yeah, like I said in the last press conference, the door is open. If those guys at the NCA feel that he's okay to go and recovered, and play, I will be happy to have him," he added
Mohammed Shami's domestic comeback
Mohammed Shami will play in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy, a domestic 50-over tournament in India. He will feature for his domestic side Bengal. He played the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy recently where he helped Bengal reach the quarter-finals. However, they couldn't go further as they lost to Baroda.
According to the reports, Mohammed Shami is still facing swelling in his knee which is preventing him from making an international comeback. The Indian team management wants him to be fully fit in the last stages of his career.
Mohammed Shami's surgery
The 34-year-old last played an international match in November last year during the ODI World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad. Since then, he has been constantly struggling with injuries which have kept him out of international cricket. He is unlikely to join the squad for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy and will be looking to prepare himself for the Champions Trophy next year.
