This time is not going very well for Team India. On the Australia tour, the team had to face defeat in the Test series, due to which not only the Border-Gavaskar trophy was snatched away from them, but the final of the World Test Championship also slipped out of their hands. If this was not enough then the injury of star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has increased the tension of the Indian team. Now not only Bumrah, but another Indian fast bowler has got injured and is out for several days. This bowler is Akash Deep, who was with Team India on the Australia tour.

Akash was injured in the fourth test

Right-arm fast bowler Akash Deep took part in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Here he took part in the third and fourth test matches. However, he started having back problems in the fourth match itself, due to which he could not play in the last Test of the series played in Sydney. Now after returning from Australia, Akash Deep will soon report to the new National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, where he will be examined. Cricbuzz report states that due to this problem, Akash Deep will remain away from cricket action for the next one month. .

Will not be able to be selected for ODI series!

Due to this injury, it now seems difficult for Akash to be selected for the ODI series against England. This fast bowler from Bengal had made his debut in Test cricket for Team India only last year but till now he has not been able to debut in any other format. However, considering Bumrah's latest injury, Mohammed Shami's long-standing fitness problem and Mohammed Siraj's workload, it was expected that Akash Deep would be able to debut in this series, but now this opportunity also slipped from his hands. .

Mohammed Shami close to comeback

However, there is some relief news for Team India because Mohammed Shami is close to regaining full fitness. It has been told in the report that Shami is certain to be selected for the ODI series against England and then the Champions Trophy. Shami is currently playing for Bengal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and will take the field against Haryana in the quarter-final match on Thursday, January 9. It has been told in the report that members of the selection committee will also be present for this quarter-final match to be held in Baroda, where they will test the fitness and form of the star fast bowler.
