According to the report of Times of India, medical experts have advised Shubman Gill to take rest for 10-14 days. Due to this, he will not be able to take part in the two-day practice match starting from Saturday this week. Let us tell you that the second test will be played in Adelaide from 6th December.
A source said, “Gill will take more time to recover from the injury. Even if his injury heals, he will need some quality practice before playing a Test match. At this time he does not seem to be available for the practice match and the second test.”
Former Mumbai and Indian selector Jatin Paranjpe had also recently said that it may take 2-4 weeks to recover from such a finger injury. He said, “Such injuries take time, so Gill may miss 2-3 Tests.”
No plan to send Shami to Australia
On the other hand, the rumors going on about Mohammed Shami have come to an end. According to sources, at present BCCI has no plans to send Shami to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Shami is currently playing for Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and is performing well after recovering from a year-long ankle injury.
The team may have to face challenges due to Gill’s injury and Shami’s absence.
