India’s pace bowler Mohammed Shami could be on the plane to Australia for the upcoming Test series after he was spotted flexing his muscle at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday (Oct 20). After India’s defeat to New Zealand by eight wickets, Shami and Shubman Gill were spotted in the aftermatch training session. While Gill is likely to return to the Playing XI in the Pune Test, it has been 11 months since Shami last tasted international cricket action.

<h2>Shami back for the BGT?</h2>

Having not played for India since the 2023 ODI World Cup final defeat to Australia in Ahmedabad on November 19, Shami has been out of action for the national side. But with cameras still rolling after the match at the Chinnaswamy on Sunday, a heavily strapped Shami took to the nets and bowled which came as a big encouraging sign for the Indian team. He bowled for several minutes in the net before calling it a day and largely looked untroubled.

Despite the encouraging signs, he was not included in the Indian squad for the Pune and Mumbai Test matches after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed squads for the remainder of the New Zealand series.

<h2>India lose Bengaluru Test</h2>

Needing 107 runs to win the Bengaluru Test on Day 5, New Zealand batters made an easy meal of the Indian bowlers as they won the Test match. For India Rishabh Pant scored 99 and gave a good helping hand to Sarfaraz Khan, who scored 150. These innings combined with Rohit’s 52 and Virat’s 71 helped India reach 462 as they overcame a massive deficit of 356 runs from the first innings.

However, the second innings heroics did not prove enough for India, having been bowled out for 46 in the first innings, as they lost by eight wickets. All eyes will now be on the second Test match, which starts on Thursday (Oct 24).

WATCH: Mohammed Shami bowls at full tilt in Bengaluru, remains in contention for Australia tour

India pacer Mohammed Shami's return to competitive cricket has been hit by a swollen knee during rehabilitation. Shami, who was last seen for India during the 2023 ODI World Cup at home, has reportedly done some damage to his leg. As a result, the speedster's right knee has flared up. While Shami kicked off his rehab process, his progress has been hit by a swollen knee, jeopardising his chances of making a return to the Indian team before the much-awaited India tour of Australia, featuring five Tests.

Shami has missed a plethora of series since the ODI WC, where he ended as the leading wicket-taker (24). While nothing is known regarding his availability&nbsp;for the upcoming home Tests versus New Zealand, starting Oct 16, it seemed he was targetting the Australia tour for a comeback. However,&nbsp;a BCCI source has reported that knee issues have hit his rehab process.

"Shami had resumed bowling, and he was looking on track to make a comeback to competitive cricket soon. But this knee injury has flared up recently. BCCI's medical team is assessing the injury, but it may require quite a bit of time," a BCCI source told TOI.

The source added, "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."

Thus, Shami is running against time to be fit for the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under. India played the just-concluded two Tests versus Bangladesh, at home, with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. While the trio are set to be part of the Australia series, Shami's experience will also be required by Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. Given it will be tough for Bumrah and Siraj to play all five Tests in Australia, Shami's importance multiplies. Even&nbsp;the 34-year-old might not play all Tests, however, his limited appearance will also benefit India, who are aiming for their third successive Test series win in Australia.

After the NZ series, and a short SA tour, India's tour of Australia will kick off at Perth on Nov 22. It is a five-match Test series, including a day-night contest in Adelaide.

Blow to India before Australia tour! Md Shami's comeback hit by swollen knee during rehab - Report

India’s star bowler Mohammed Shami is likely to be ruled out of the ongoing Test series against England as the speedster struggles with an ankle injury. Shami, who has not been in action since the conclusion of the ODI World Cup in India is now likely to return during the Indian Premier League (IPL) season where he represents the Gujarat Titans. Shami’s continued absence will be no relief for India who are already without Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul for the second Test match in Vizag.

<h2>Shami out of Test series?</h2>

According to reports on Thursday (Feb 1), Shami is yet to recover from the ankle injury he suffered after the World Cup which saw him miss the South Africa tour as well. It was expected that the veteran star could be back in the team at some point during the Test series, but now it is reported that he won’t make the squad for the remaining three matches as well. His continued absence will hurt the Indian team as they will miss his experience in the red-ball format.

IND vs ENG: India’s World Cup hero Mohammed Shami likely to miss entire Test series - Reports

Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has been ordered by a Kolkata court to pay a monthly alimony of $1600 (Rs 1,30,000) to his ex-wife in a domestic violence case. The said amount will be divided into personal alimony of $613 (Rs 50,000) and child allowance of $981 (Rs 80,000) Shami’s estranged wife, Hasin Jahan had accused him of domestic violence.

Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has been ordered by a Kolkata court to pay a monthly alimony of $1600 (Rs 1,30,000) to his ex-wife in a domestic violence case. The said amount will be divided into personal alimony of $613 (Rs 50,000) and child allowance of $981 (Rs 80,000) Shami’s estranged wife, Hasin Jahan had accused him of domestic violence. On March 8, 2018, Jahan lodged a complaint against her husband and his elder brother Hasib Ahmad, levelling allegations of threat, infidelity and dowry demand. At the time, Jahan's counsel argued that Shami pay a monthly alimony of $12,300 (Rs 10 lakh) which will be divided into two parts - personal alimony ($ 8,600) and child allowance ($3,700). Read more: Glad he is charged at last, after so long: Mohammed Shami's wife on charge sheet against husband However, even after receiving the ruling in her favour, Jahan said she will appeal the case as $613 as alimony per month was not enough for her. “Rs 50,000 is minimal for me so I have to challenge this. It’s true that the verdict is in my favour but I will go to the high court as the stipulated money for my maintenance is very less considering the income of Shami,” Jahan was quoted as saying by News 18. Jahan added that she had spent a lot of money fighting legal battles over the years and thus she deserved the money to lead a 'quality' life. "Since I don’t have any financial support or earning, I only know how I arranged the money for so long. Thus, I deserve much more alimony for spending a quality life.” Her counsel argued that since Shami's annual income stood at $850,000 (Rs 7 crore) for the financial year 2020-21, according to income tax returns, the demand for $12,300 (Rs 10 lakh) as alimony was not unjustified.

Mohammed Shami ordered to pay $1600 monthly alimony to ex-wife

In what comes as a huge blow to Indian cricket team, pacer Mohammed Shami, whose bowling hand was fractured during the third day of the Adelaide Test, has been advised six weeks of rest and will be flying back to India on Wednesday.

Shami will have to undergo a brief period of quarantine in India. The 30-year-old was hit by a bouncer from Aussie pacer Pat Cummins and couldn’t pick the bat in pain. However, in the latest development, Shami will not be available for the remainder of the series due to fractured hand and has been advised six weeks of rest.&nbsp;

Shami is likely to be fit by the end of January after undergoing six-week rest period and is expected to be available for India’s full-fledged home series against England, scheduled to start from February 4.

Shami’s injury comes at a wrong time for India with the visitors already missing skipper Virat Kohli from second Test onwards. Shami was one of the heroes for India when they visited Down Under in 2018-19 and ended up clinching the historic series 2-1.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj or Navdeep Saini are set to replace Shami in the playing XI for the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
