DHARAMSALA: India have added fit-again fast bowler Mohammed Shami to their squad for the fourth and final Test against Australia in Dharamsala, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Friday.
Shami has not played since picking up an injury against England in November, but India have decided to bolster their options given the pace and carry usually associated with the pitch at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
