Shaheen, who is returning from a lengthy injury layoff, greeted Shami on the sidelines of the Gabba net session. Shami bhai kaise hai aap (How are you?) he asked.
jabse maine bowling start ki hai tabse mai aapko follow kar raha hun, aapki na wrist position aur seam ka jawab nahi hai (I’ve been following you since I started bowling, and I’ve always admired your wrist position and upright seam), said Shaheen.
Shami has joined Team India as a replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah, while Shaheen has returned after missing a month due to a knee injury.
Shami was at his ruthless best in India’s six-run win over Australia in a warm-up match on Monday. With Australia needing 11 from the final over, Rohit Sharma bowled Shami. The veteran seamer did not disappoint, taking three wickets, causing a run-out, and conceding only four runs.
India will play New Zealand in their next warm-up match before facing Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23. (MCG).
