Team India skipper Shubman Gill opened up about Mohammed Shami's absence ahead of the two-match Test series against South Africa at home. The right-handed batter also stated that the selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, would be in the best position to comment on Shami's future with the team.

However, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee ignored the pacer despite him proving his fitness with the red ball.
