Indian cricket fans are eagerly waiting to see the highly-anticipated comeback of pacer Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action due to a knee injury. After giving a memorable performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, Shami underwent a surgery for his injury and has been recovering from it since then. It was expected that the star pacer will returning to the national duty for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in November this year but a recent development has left all the fans worried.

As per a report by the Times of India, Shami has now suffered a swollen knee, which will apparently take another six to eight weeks to heal.

This means that his participation in the five-match Test series against Australia will now be uncertain.

"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," TOI quoted a BCCI source.

"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."
