After being sidelined for more than one year due to injuries, Mohammed Shami made his triumphant comeback in the ongoing limited-overs series against England at home.
Notably, Shami scalped three wickets in two T20I matches against England, and then the 34-year-old bagged one wicket in his eight-over spell during the Men in Blue’s four-wicket win over Jos Buttler’s team in the first ODI at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur on February 6.
With the seasoned pacer gradually returning to his form with the ball, India’s batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, shared a big update on Mohammed Shami’s fitness. Actually, ahead of the second ODI in Cuttack, the coach was asked about Shami’s fitness and availability for the upcoming ICC event.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Sitanshu Kotak told the media, “Mohammed Shami is absolutely fit. He is completely fit for the Champions Trophy. But I’m not aware of Bumrah's scans, so that will be obvious; our doctor or physio will know about that.”
The batting coach admitted that Rohit had a tough Australia tour but stressed that the Indian opener is one of the legends of ODI cricket, so there is no need to worry about his form.

Kotak said at the presser, “See, I personally don't think there is any problem. In the last three one-dayers (before the series opener in Nagpur), Rohit scored 56, 64, and 35 (against Sri Lanka last year), nearly averaging 50-plus. We are talking about a player who has got 31 ODI hundreds. When he keeps scoring runs in back-to-back matches, nobody asks, 'When will he fail?'”
