Paceman Shami out of UAE match

India's media manager confirmed today that Shami will miss the tie. "Mohammed Shami has got a mild left knee problem and had ultrasound guided injection yesterday," RN Baba said.

This is a big setback for India as Shami was the team's leading wicket-taker so far at the World Cup. He has 6 scalps from 2 matches with an impressive average of 10.83 and an economy of 3.82.

So far he has bowled 17 overs in two innings and has figures of 6/65 with 2 maidens. He took 4 wickets (4/35) against Pakistan in the opener and had 2 victims in the South Africa match at Melbourne.

The 24-year-old has played 42 ODIs and has 76 wickets to his name. He is expected to recover in time to play the next match against West Indies on March 6.
