Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma is reportedly not traveling with the team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, starting November 22 in Perth. The team will depart for Australia in two groups on Sunday and Monday, but Rohit’s participation remains uncertain due to a personal matter. According to reports, Rohit may still join the team in Australia shortly before the series opener at Optus Stadium.
If Rohit cannot join the squad in time, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah is expected to step in as captain for the first Test. This potential leadership shift would be a major development for India’s campaign in Australia.
A recent report had initially confirmed that Rohit Sharma would be traveling to Australia, although his availability for the first Test would depend on a personal matter. However, the latest report suggests that his departure may be delayed until the week before the series starts, adding further ambiguity around his participation.
Fans and cricket analysts alike will be closely monitoring the situation as the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy approaches.
