    Shami’s Absence from India-Australia Series Raises Concerns for Both Teams

    Shami's Absence from India-Australia Series Raises Concerns for Both Teams

    Mohammed Shami, India’s experienced fast bowler, won’t be part of the squad for the upcoming Test series against Australia, set to begin on November 22. His exclusion due to fitness concerns has raised doubts about India’s performance, even though they’ve recently announced a new-look squad with promising talent. Meanwhile, Australia, despite Shami’s absence, remains uneasy about facing India, reflecting the psychological impact of India’s recent Test successes on Australian soil.

    Shami Left Out Due to Fitness Issues

    Shami, who has been recovering from a long-standing injury, hasn’t played any competitive cricket over the past year. The Indian selection committee decided not to include him, emphasizing that the pacer must prove his fitness by playing a few Ranji Trophy matches. If he clears the fitness test midway through the Test series, Shami might still get a chance to join the squad in Australia.

    While Jasprit Bumrah will spearhead India’s pace attack, the Indian management will need to rely on other bowlers like Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy to step up. This fresh set of bowlers will face significant pressure to replicate the success of earlier tours, especially given the absence of an experienced campaigner like Shami.

    Australian Coach Cautious Despite Shami’s Absence

    Even though Shami won’t be part of the initial squad, Australian coach Andrew McDonald admitted that his team cannot afford to relax. McDonald acknowledged Shami’s impact and influence, saying that Australia’s batters have great respect for his skillful bowling. Shami’s combination with Bumrah has troubled Australian batters in the past, and his absence might feel like a breather for some. However, McDonald also noted the unpredictability of India’s rising bowlers, reminding everyone how debutants like Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini, and Shardul Thakur played match-winning roles during India’s 2020-21 tour.

    India’s Past Triumphs Set High Expectations

    India’s remarkable performances on their last two Australian tours, including consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophy wins, have set high expectations for the team. In 2018, Shami contributed significantly, but even when he was sidelined with an injury in 2020-21, India surprised everyone by winning the series with a depleted squad. That historic series win still lingers in the minds of Australian players and adds pressure on them to perform better this time.

    While both sides are gearing up for the high-stakes Test series, all eyes will be on how India’s new bowlers handle the challenge in Shami’s absence and whether Australia can overcome their mental block against India.
