However, Shami did not seem to impress. He looked out of rhythm and it was Dinesh Karthik who bossed him at India nets.
“I haven’t seen Mohammed Shami but whatever I have heard it is good. We have a practice session in Brisbane on Sunday and I am looking forward to seeing Shami,” Rohit Sharma said of Shami at Captain’s Day press conference.

Two reserves Shreyas Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi have stayed back in India and will play Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy instead.
“You can’t show disappointment in injuries, you need to look forward to what we can do. We have backed our other boys and we are backing them. Hope they deliver. We wanted to come here early and acclimatise to the situation. By the time we play Pakistan, we will be prepared. We don’t believe in last-minute information, I don’t want to believe in telling someone at the last minute that you are playing,” Rohit said.
