India, Oct. 9 -- India's veteran pacer Mohammed Shami has dismissed rumours surrounding his fitness, clarifying that he is fully fit and match-ready, even though he hasn't been included in India's T20I or ODI squads for the upcoming tour of Australia.

In a candid statement on his YouTube channel, the 35-year-old seamer stressed that selection decisions are out of his control and rest with the selectors, captain, and coach. However, he reiterated his readiness to don the national colours whenever called upon.
