India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday said pacer Mohammed Shami is in the reckoning to be included in the squad for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia but added the team will exercise patience and let him attain match fitness. We want to be more than 100 per cent sure with him because it’s been such a long time since he hasn’t played cricket,” Rohit said after the second Test in Adelaide. Upon his return from the knee injury, Shami has played a Ranji Trophy match for Bengal and seven T20 games during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Rohit added that a team will be monitoring Shami’s progress through the remaining Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and take a call on his addition to India squad accordingly.
