MOHAMMED SHAMI MISSING THE TEST, WHO WLL FILL IN?
According to the former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer, it’s likely that Prasidh Krishna will be the third seamer for the Ind vs SA Test. However, it’s not confirmed yet whether Mukesh Kumar or Prasidh Krishan will fill in for Mohammed Shami. Mohammed Shami will be missing the Ind vs SA Test. The two-match Test series between India and South Africa is set to begin on December 26 in Centurion. The Indian team recently won an ODI series against South Africa under the guidance of coach Rahul Dravid.
It is interesting to note that India has never won a Test series against South Africa since they first visited the country in 1992. However, this time around, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. India may finally end their 31-year wait. Unfortunately, Mohammed Shami won’t be able to be a part of the team as he is healing from an ankle injury. Additionally, Ishan Kishan has also been cut from the team before the first Test match against SA. Wasim Jaffer asked on X(formerly known as Twitter) before the first Test between India and South Africa that,
“Shami will be missed big time in SA Tests, but it’s a great opportunity for Prasidh & Mukesh to show that they’re the future of Indian fast bowling. Can’t ask for a better place to bowl than South Africa. Who are you picking as the third seamer between these two?”
