re was much speculation about Shami's inclusion in Indian squ for tour of Australia, but skipper Rohit Sharma dismissed idea, stating that he would t take an "undercooked" senior pacer down under. pacer concentrated on regaining peak fitness at NCA, and he also bowled at full tilt at nets while India bowling coach Morne Morkel kept a close eye.

Shami, who has been out of action since 2023 World Cup final on vember 19 due to an ankle injury and subsequent surgery, will look to demonstrate his fitness in a live match after undergoing intensive rehabilitation at BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. return of Shami could be seen as a huge boost to Bengal Ranji side and Indian Cricket Team, who will take part in upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy 

In his absence, India has opted for a largely untested pace attack for Border-Gavaskar Trophy with rookies such as Akash Deep, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna backing senior pros Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
