The Indian team is going to make these 4 changes in the next Test match
India's fast bowler Mohammad Shami will miss the remaining three matches of the Test series against Australia due to a fractured wrist. This is a big blow for Team India and as a result, there is a possibility that Mohammad Siraj will get a chance in the team. Notably, in the second innings of the first Test, Pat Cummins' quick ball hit Shamina's wrist, forcing him to retire injured and he has not been able to bowl since.
Shami was taken to the hospital for a scan late Saturday evening where he was found to have a fracture in his arm. BCCI sources said that Mohammad Shami has a fractured hand and is unlikely to play in the rest of the Test series.
Mohammed Siraj did well in two practice matches so he could make the team for the Boxing Day match in Melbourne. Virat Kohli is not in the team and now that Shami is out, Team India is facing a big problem.
Captain Kohli is returning to India to be a father after Carma's defeat in the first Test against Australia and Shami has also been ruled out of the squad due to a fractured hand. Apart from that, serious consideration is being given to including two other players in the team. According to informed BCCI sources, the team led by Ajinkya Rahane is considering replacing Kohli and Shami in India with KL Rahul and Siraj.
Mohammed Siraj, who did well in the practice match against Australia, could make his Test debut. Thus, Kohli and Shami will be replaced by new players as well as the opening may change according to reports.
In the first day-night match, Prithvi Shaw, who flopped in both innings, could be ruled out and replaced by Shubhaman Gill with Mayank Agarwal. Riddhiman Saha is also likely to be sidelined. The team management can place Rishabh Pant in the team to bring strength to the wicketkeeper-batsman and middle order. He also scored a century in a warm-up match. Saha was only able to score a half-century then.
