Indian star pacer Mohammed Shami is unlikely to feature in the Test series for Team India due to his recent injury.
According to reports, Shami is currently undergoing rehabilitation for an ankle injury and might not make it in time for the red ball series against The Proteas. With skipper Rohit Sharma ready to leave for Johannesburg along with the last batch of players, Shami might not take the flight.

Players including skipper Rohit, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah etc. are set to depart for South Africa on December 15 via Dubai.
BCCI had also added in their statement that Shami will be a conditional pick for the series as he has been in rehab.
“Mr. Mohd. Shami is currently undergoing medical treatment, and his availability is subject to fitness.” The statement read.
