Shami out of first two Tests against England: Suryakumar will not be present due to hernia surgery

“Mohammed Shami has taken 229 wickets in 64 test matches for India”

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami is likely to miss the first two matches of the 5-Test series against England starting on January 25. He has not resumed bowling since the ankle injury.

On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav may also be out of the squad. He is suffering from hernia and needs surgery. It is expected that Yadav will be completely fit by IPL.

The Indian team has not yet released the squad for the Test series against England.

Shami will have to prove fitness in NCA

A source from the Indian Cricket Board said, Shami has not even started bowling yet, he will have to go to NCA to prove his fitness. It seems difficult for him to play in the first two Test matches against England.

Yadav may be fit till IPL

According to the source, Yadav will take more time than expected. After hernia operation, it may take up to eight-nine weeks for him to practice on the field. Hopefully he will be fit during the IPL.

Shami was not part of the test series against South Africa

Mohammed Shami did not accompany the team on the recent South Africa tour. When the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Test team, he was a part of the squad, but later the board said that Shami was out of the Test series due to not being fit. Avesh Khan got a place in the team in place of Shami.

The first test will be held in Hyderabad

India's 5-match series against England will start from January 25 and continue till March 11. England will come to India to play 5 tests. There will be a Test series between the two teams in India after 3 years, the last series in 2021 was won by Team India by a margin of 3-1.
