Mohammad Shami, who has been ruled out of the limited overs series in Australia due to a hamstring injury, will head straight to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore today, according to a family member. The injured pacer made a comeback to the Indian team after a knee injury and will be under the care of former India physiotherapist Andrew Leipus in Bangalore.

Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who successfully treated Shami for his knee injury was speechless when the news about the fast bowler being ruled out for the limited overs series in Australia was delivered to him on Saturday. "Oh, no... is it the same knee injury," Dr Pardiwala asked emphatically. "I spoke to Leipus at around 12.30 pm, but he had no knowledge of this latest development."
