“As far as Shami is concerned, he was hit by Kovid. Shami was at his home, then we called him to the NCA. He worked hard there. He is in Brisbane right now. The Indian team will reach Brisbane tomorrow. He is part of the team. Will practice together. Shami is very positive, his recovery has been good. He has had 3-4 bowling sessions. Everything is going well with Shami. We have tried a lot to manage the players but unfortunately the injuries play out. So our focus was on preparing the bench. Injuries can happen at any time. We wanted to give chances to the young bowlers.”
