Kohli skips batting at Dharamsala nets; Shami excluded from 15-man squad

INDIA SKIPPER Virat Kohli has skipped the net session ahead of the fourth and the final Test in Dharamshala, starting March 25. 

It is also learnt that paceman Mohammed Shami has not been named in the 15-man squad for the upcoming game. Kohli, who sustained a shoulder injury while fielding during the Ranchi Test, was present at the ground with his teammates. However, as reported by PTI, he only took part in the warm-up drills.

It is expected that the prolific batsman will bat in the nets on March 24. When asked about Shami’s chances of being picked for the game, team physio Patrick Farhart said,

"Shami was with the team in Ranchi also as Farhart is monitoring his progress. He was not named in the squad of 15 for the final Test. Sending him to play Vijay Hazare final was a part of that extensive rehabilitation plan."
