What did Mohammed Shami say in his Tweet?
Taking to his ‘X’ account, here’s what M Shami wrote:
“Why these type of baseless rumors? I’m working hard and trying my level best to recover. Neither the BCCI nor me have mentioned that I am out of the Border Gavaskar series. I request the public to stop paying attention to such news from unofficial sources. Please stop and don’t spread such fake fake fake & fake news, especially without my statement.“
Earlier, Shami stated in an interview, that he is looking to make his comeback soon as he has been out of action for a long time. However, he also added that he wants to be fit fully, so that he does not have any problems when he makes his comeback to cricket.
He does not want to rush and take the risk of getting injured again after making his comeback. Shami is expected to be a vital part of India’s fast bowling arsenal in Australia.
