Now, an untimely positive Covid test has ruled him out of the Australia T20Is...Mohammed Shami's T20 career seems to be seriously jinxed. He wasn't selected in the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup, but found a place in the two stage-rehearsal series at home against Australia and South Africa starting September 20. Given the injury track-record of Indian pacers, a few good performances in these games might have opened up a slot for the 32-year-old, who was in the reserves if something went wrong with the chosen quintet for the World Cup.
