India skipper Rohit Sharma has virtually ruled out Mohammed Shami from the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, saying that the pacer's recovery from ankle surgery has been hampered by swelling in the knees and it would not be right to take an 'undercooked' version of him for the marquee showdown.

Shami last played for India during the ODI World Cup final last year and has been recuperating from ankle surgery after that.
