India pacer Mohammed Shami has finally tested negative for COVID-19 after he missed out the recently concluded T20I series against Australia.
The senior pacer took to social media to put out this update on social media.
“Negative,” Shami wrote on his Instagram account along with a picture of his Covid-19 test report.
The development comes hours after the BCCI named veteran pacer Umesh Yadav as his replacement for the three-match T20I series against South Africa, beginning on Wednesday in Thiruvananthapuram.
“Mohd. Shami is yet to attain full recovery from COVID-19 and will not be able to take part in the three-match T20I series. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Umesh Yadav as Shami’s replacement,” the BCCI said in a statement, earlier in the day.
Shami, who hasn’t featured for India in any T20I since last year’s T20 World Cup, had been brought back into the mix for the shortest format of the game, when he was picked for the games against Australia and South Africa.
