Big blow to India as star player ruled out of ODI series against Bangladesh due to injury

India have dealt with a huge blow as Men in Blue's senior star speedster Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the ODI series against Bangladesh owing to a shoulder injury. 

Beside the three-match ODI series which starts on December 4, Shami could also be doubtful for the two-match Test series slated to be played from December 14. It has been learnt that Shami had suffered the injury during a training session. Skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid would be worried if Shami misses the Test series because India need to win every game to stay in contention for the upcoming World Test Championship final at the Oval in June.

Shami, who has snared 152 wickets in 82 ODIs and 216 scalps in 60 Tests, is an integral part of India's ODI scheme of things, going into the World Cup next year.

Earlier, veteran Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and young left-arm pacer Yash Dayal was also ruled out of the white-ball series against Bangladesh.

On the other hand, Bangladesh also suffered a big jolt as their regular skipper Tamim Iqbal got himself injured which ruled him out of the ODI series. Moreover, Bangladesh's star pacer Taskin Ahmed will miss the first ODI on December 4 due to injury.
