After undergoing surgery on his right heel and recovering from a minor knee swelling, Mohammed Shami has gradually returned to competitive cricket. While the heel injury has fully healed, the knee issue kept the Indian pacer out of action for the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which won by Australia last week.

The National Cricket Academy (NCA) medical team is closely monitoring Shami, with at least one physio or trainer from the NCA accompanying him at all times, according to the BCCI. During the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in Rajkot, multiple NCA personnel were present to support Shami, and most recently, an NCA physio was seen supervising the Indian pacer and all-rounder Hardik Pandya during sessions in Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, Akash Deep is set to miss the upcoming white-ball series against England, along with key bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

However, Akash Deep is yet to make his debut in white-ball cricket, but his rising potential has made him a contender for the England series, especially with Bumrah and Siraj unavailable due to their heavy workload during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Both Siraj and Bumrah bowled over 150 overs on the Australia tour and are set to be rested to ensure their fitness for the Champions Trophy 2025.
However, Jasprit Bumrah’s situation remains uncertain. After suffering back spasms during the final Test against Australia, he is awaiting medical clearance from the NCA. The selectors are hopeful of Bumrah’s recovery in time for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He is expected to report to the NCA soon.
