ind vs aus mohammed shami join team india in australia jasprit bumrah update

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between India and Australia will start from 22nd November i.e. Friday. The first Test will be played between the two teams in Perth and the Indian team will be captained by Jasprit Bumrah in this match as Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first Test match. Bumrah is going to captain the team for the first time in a Test match on Australian soil and this will also be a great opportunity for him to prove himself as a captain.

There will be no veteran players like Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the Indian team in the first test match, in such a situation the challenges for Bumrah increase further. Before this Test match, during the press conference, Bumrah talked about his captaincy, team’s preparations and also told about whether Mohammed Shami will play in this Test series or not. Shami has returned to professional cricket a few days ago after injury and while representing Bengal in Ranji Trophy, he took 7 wickets in the first match and also batted well against Madhya Pradesh in the second innings.

Talking about Shami, Bumrah said that Shami Bhai has started playing cricket. Obviously he is an important part of this team. I am sure the management is also keeping a close eye on them. Hopefully things will work out and we’ll be able to see them here too. Let us tell you that earlier it was believed that Shami could be sent to Australia as soon as possible after he proved his fitness in Ranji, but later reports came out that the Indian selectors are not in any hurry regarding Shami. And they want Shami to play a few more matches at the domestic level and get fully into rhythm.
