Mohammed Shami Offers A New Health Update Amid BGT Series Anticipation

While speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event, Mohammed Shami spoke out about his fitness, saying that he has been bowling from the half run-up as he did not want to extend the load. But Shami assured he has been bowling in his hundred per cent, and the results look promising. He also speaks about his inclusion in the BGT series, saying there is still time to figure that out.

"I am very happy with how I bowled yesterday. I was bowling from half run-up before that because I didn't want to take too much load. But yesterday, I decided to go full tilt, and I bowled at a 100 per cent.

"The result was good. I am 100 per cent pain-free. Everyone has been wondering for a long time about whether I will make it for the Australia series but it is still some time away," Shami said.

Mohammed Shami further said that he also wants to return to the domestic circuit and play a couple of Ranji Trophy matches before eventually heading back to the national side.

"The only thing on my mind is to ensure that I am fit and how strong I can be for the Australia series. I can see what kind of attack we need in Australia. I have to spend more time on the ground.

"I want to play a couple of (Ranji) matches before I go," the pacer added.
