Rohit Sharma set to miss Perth Test, might join team directly in Adelaide
India captain Rohit Sharma is set to miss the opening Test match in Perth, sources have confirmed to India Today. The first Test match vs Australia will begin on 22 November, at the Optus Stadium. India Today has learnt that Rohit, who is on paternity leave at the moment, will not be able to participate in the opening Test.
There is no clarity at the moment on when Rohit will join the Indian team. At the moment, the best case scenario is that Rohit will join the team midway through the first Test match. In case he does not make it to the Perth Test, Rohit might directly join the Indian team in Adelaide, where the Pink Ball Test match is going to be played.
“Rohit Sharma is set to miss the first Test. He will either join the team in Adelaide or join them in Perth in the middle of the Perth Test,” sources confirmed to India Today.
Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will lead the team in Rohit’s absence.
