Cannot grudge Mohammed Shami snub vs Australia: Aakash Chopra on pacer's injury

India Today  

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Team India and the Board of Control for Cricket in India made the right decision in not including Mohammed Shami in the squad for the remaining two Tests of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. While domestic hero Tanush Kotian was given a nod, Shami was initially omitted from the 18-man Border-Gavaskar Trophy squad due to a knee injury that surfaced following his recovery from a heel injury. Shami hasn’t played any form of international cricket since India's ODI World Cup final against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While Shami’s absence leaves a void in India’s pace attack, the decision underscores the BCCI’s commitment to managing player workload and ensuring long-term fitness, especially with key international tournaments looming on the horizon.
