Team India captain Rohit Sharma had given a major update on Mohammed Shami’s injury recently and said that the management doesn’t want to push him for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. But days after this update from the Indian captain, the Indian pacer was seen bowling with his full intensity at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the first Test match against New Zealand, India suffered a major loss to the visiting team in Bengaluru. Rachin Ravindra and Will Young made a match-winning partnership and sealed the match for their team. Earlier Rachin’s hundred had put New Zealand in the winning zone but it was their pacers who wreaked havoc on the Indian batting lineup and shrunk their hopes of winning the Test match.

His extended absence was primarily due to multiple injuries, the most significant being an Achilles tendon surgery. Mohammed Shami has been putting in serious work at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. He’s been bowling at full intensity on the center pitch, targeting India's assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar. The left-handed Nayar found himself challenged by Shami's blistering pace and pinpoint accuracy.

The upcoming Australia series holds great importance, not only because of the high stakes but also with the World Test Championship (WTC) final in view. India's loss in the first Test against New Zealand has made it clear that the team needs to fine-tune its fast-bowling strategy before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) tour.
