India fast bowler Mohammed Shami is hopeful of making a return soon, having missed three months of action due to a knee injury.

The 26-year-old is looking to prove his fitness in the Vijay Hazare Trophy ahead of India’s squad selection for the last two Tests against Australia.

“I don’t know yet but if I’m fully fit and comfortable to play, then I may play last two matches (of Vijay Hazare Trophy),” said Shami.

The Bengal pacer is also confident that India can bounce back from their loss in the first Test.

“Let’s look forward, there’s still a lot of cricket left in the series. Win and loss are part of the game. We may have a bad day. Let’s not blame anyone and try to focus on the remaining matches. I’m sure we would bounce back,” said Shami.

India and Australia will face off in the second Test at Bengaluru on March 4.
