Mumbai, Jan 9 (IBNS): Giving a blow to the Indian team, the BCCI on Saturday said pacer Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of India’s tour of Australia due to injury.

"The BCCI medical team confirms that Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of India’s tour of Australia due to injury," the Indian cricket board said in a statement.

"He sustained a Grade II injury to his left hamstring, which will restrict him from playing active cricket for about 4 to 6 weeks," read the statement.

The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the replacement.

He will join the team on Sunday.

Shami has long been outside the Indian side due to injury.
