Shami's World Cup Dreams in Jeopardy? Rohit Sharma Reveals Shocking Update

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has recently expressed concerns over the fitness of pace bowler Mohammed Shami, whose World Cup dreams are hanging by a thread. Shami recently suffered a setback, which has put a question mark on his participation in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia.

Rohit Sharma, in a press conference, revealed that the Indian team wants Shami to be 100 per cent fit before considering him for the World Cup squad. The skipper insisted that the team does not want to take any risks by bringing an undercooked Shami to Australia.

'We want him to be 100 per cent fit more than anything else. We don't want to bring an undercooked Shami to Australia,' Rohit Sharma said. This statement clearly indicates that the Indian team is not ready to compromise on Shami's fitness, even if it means excluding him from the World Cup squad.

Shami has been a vital part of the Indian bowling lineup in recent years, and his absence would be a significant blow to the team. However, the Indian team management is keen on ensuring that Shami is fully recovered before throwing him into the competitive environment of the World Cup.

Shami's fitness setback has also raised concerns about the Indian team's bowling lineup. With the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel also facing fitness issues, India may have to look at other bowling options for the World Cup.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma also emphasized the importance of having a fit and strong bowling lineup for the World Cup. The skipper believes that a well-balanced bowling lineup is essential for success in the tournament.

The Indian team is scheduled to leave for Australia soon, and the squad for the World Cup is expected to be announced shortly. The team management would be keeping a close eye on Shami's progress, and a final decision on his inclusion in the squad would be taken after assessing his fitness.

Only time will tell if Shami will be able to overcome his fitness woes and make it to the World Cup. However, for now, the Indian team management is adopting a cautious approach to ensure that the pacer is fully fit before handing him a spot in the squad.
