Mohammed Shami denied reports on X which says that he might miss India's tour to Australia for Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Currently, Shami is not playing due to an ankle injury. He had undergone surgery on his ankle after a good performance during ODI World Cup 2023. His fans and teammates have been waiting for him to get back onto the ground. He might join when India tours Australia in November for the Border Gavaskar trophy. A report in TOI quoted a BCCI source as saying, "Shami has started bowling again and seemed ready to return to competitive cricket soon. However, his knee injury has worsened lately. The BCCI medical team is checking his injury, but it might take some time to heal." "It's a jolt for the NCA medical team. They have been working on him for over a year. They have one of the best workload management systems in place. The medical team is trying its best to put him back in the park soon." However, Shami has denied reports which mention that he is out of the Border-Gavaskar Series between Australia and India. Mohammed Shami wrote on X, "Why these type of baseless rumors? I'm working hard and trying my level best to recover. Neither the BCCI nor me have mentioned that I am out of the Border Gavaskar series. I request the public to stop paying attention to such news from unofficial sources. Please stop and don't spread such fake fake fake & fake news, especially without my statement. #fakenews#stoprumors#rehab," Why these type of baseless rumors?
