India's No 1 pace bowler is confident he can play the last two league games of Bengal in Chennai.
"I don't know yet but if I'm fully fit and comfortable to play, then I may play last two matches (of Bengal in Vijay Hazare Trophy in Chennai)," Shami told reporters.
Shami, who has been out due to a knee injury since he played the third Test against England at Mohali in November, said he would approach the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru in a few days for assessing his fitness.
India trail the four-match series 0-1 and will travel to Bengaluru for the second Test and Shami may join the training to assess his fitness on the sidelines.
On India's crushing 333-run defeat in the Pune Test, Shami, who came to meet his former captain MS Dhoni at Eden Gardens on the sidelines of Jharkhand's Vijay Hazare Trophy match, said the side would bounce back.
"Let's look forward, there's still a lot of cricket left in the series. Win and loss is part of the game. We may have a bad day. Let's not blame anyone and try to focus on the remaining matches. I'm sure we would bounce back," he said.
