Delhi: The last match of its league stage will be played against New Zealand on March 2 in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. But, before this big match, the Indian team may get a shock. There were reports that captain Rohit Sharma would not play this match due to hamstring injury. But. It is now reported that experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami can be out of this match.
Question on Shami’s fitness
According to PTI reports, Shami had trouble while bowling in the match against Pakistan. The Indian team management does not want to take any risk about them, as India has to play semi -finals on 4 March. In such a situation, the team wants Shami to be fully fit and perform brilliantly in a big match.
Arshadeep can get a chance
Left -arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is likely to get a chance instead of Shami. One of the major reasons for this is to be a five left -handed batsman in New Zealand batting order. Apart from this, Arshdeep bowled long in the nets, which shows that he is in full rhythm. At the same time, Shami threw 6-7 overs in the nets, while Arshdeep bowled for about 13 overs.
