Despite recent concerns regarding his fitness, Mohammed Shami has confidently stated that he is “100 per cent pain-free” and remains a contender for the forthcoming Test series in Australia. Following India’s Test match against New Zealand, Shami expressed his contentment with his performance in the nets, where he bowled at full capacity. To gear up for the series in Australia, Shami plans to participate in a few Ranji Trophy matches. This decision comes in the wake of overcoming obstacles such as knee swelling and rehabilitating from an ankle injury.
