"I am doing fine now and have started bowling in the nets," Shami told reporters at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. "I don't know yet but if I'm fully fit and comfortable to play, then I may play last two matches (for Bengal in Vijay Hazare Trophy)," he added.
Shami is working hard at his fitness and is likely to return to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru to complete his rehab and assess his condition. The 26-year-old pacer will have to feature in the domestic circuit in order to be in contention for squad selection of the last two Tests against Australia, as per the law laid down by coach Anil Kumble.
India currently trail the four-Test series 0-1 after going down to the visitors by 333 runs in the series opener in Pune. Shami, however, said that it is only a matter of time before Virat Kohli & Co. bounce back.
"Let's look forward, there's still a lot of cricket left in the series. Win and loss is part of the game. We may have a bad day. Let's not blame anyone and try to focus on the remaining matches. I'm sure we would bounce back," he said.
