Cricket_Hacker Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Rohit Sharma, who missed the Champions League Twenty20 due to multiple injuries, will be unavailable for the limited-overs' leg of India's home series against the West Indies. Rohit is likely to be available for the three-Test series, starting October 30, that follows the five ODIs and one-off T20. Rohit was initially ruled out for four weeks, which meant he could have recovered in time for the last two ODIs and the T20 game. But though his fractured finger has healed, it is understood he will take three more weeks to recover from his shoulder injury. Sharma is being monitored by BCCI physios at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. It is also understood that neither the player nor the selectors are willing to rush him back to international cricket considering the major assignments that follow the West Indies series. The selectors and the team management believe Rohit will be a vital cog during India's winter tour to Australia and the World Cup to be staged in Australia and New Zealand in February-March. As a result, he will not be considered for selection for the first leg of the series against West Indies. The ODI and T20 squads will be named on October 4. Ajinkya Rahane, who scored his maiden ODI century while filling in for Rohit in England, should continue to partner Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order, while the selectors are likely to persist with Murali Vijay as the back-up opener. Rohit could be asked to prove his match fitness before he is selected for the Test series. If he recovers as per schedule, Rohit could feature in the Duleep Trophy semi-final if West Zone beat East Zone in their quarterfinal. If West Zone do not qualify for the Duleep semis, Rohit might be selected in the Board President's XI, which will face the West Indians in a three-day tour game in Kanpur from October 25. Rohit played only one of India's five Tests in England and had to cut short his tour after fracturing his finger in the field during the second ODI.
rkt.india Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Time to get Sehwag back. Lets have some fun. Will have Vohra in place of Sehwag in present form.
skindia Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 give 5 odis for robin to prove if he dont perform dump forever..I have full faith in robin to make at least 2 centuries in 5 odis with improved technique and temperament
skindia Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 vohra is another hack like dhawan...even samson will play better than vohra as opener
Cricket_Hacker Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Uthappa is the biggest hack. In LOI's flathappa is definitely a prospect
zubinpepsi Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Blessing in disguise for Team India.. good opportunity for Ajinka.. we need better opening pair than Dhawan/Rohit for the WC2015.. Rohit really slows down the momentum at the top. Dhawan/Rahane seems much better pair than Dhawan/Rohit
bowl_out Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Pls get Kedar Jadhav for 4... that is the most unstable position in the ODI team now... 1. Rahane 2. Dhawan 3. Kohli 4. ?? (Rayudu / Jadhav / Rohit) 5. Raina 6. Dhoni 7. Jadeja Don't really see the need for a back up opener in the squad, particularly when it is happening in India... If somebody is injured, you can get a replacement in a few hours.... If Jadhav can prove to be a stable No. 4, which is such a crucial position in ODIs, nothing better than that
adi B Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 great.open with the new combo of rahane and dhawan
StriKe Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 In LOI's flathappa is definitely a prospect He failed miserably in A tour.. Samson played better than him.. So no easy 100s for Rohit :hehe:
Lord Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Another MOS gone for Rohit:hysterical::hysterical: On a serious note,good opportunity to give chances to Jadhav,Samson,Pandey Rahane can open with skindia as backup
