Rohit Sharma, Ishant Sharma need to be on flight in ‘next 4-5 days’ to play Tests: Ravi Shastri
India head coach Ravi Shastri mentioned that Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma must be on the flight to Australia within the “next four or five days” if they’re to participate within the Test sequence towards Australia.
Rohit is at present on the National Cricket Academy (NCA) recovering a hamstring damage and might be lacking the restricted overs leg of India’s tour of Australia which begins on November 27.
“He’s (Rohit) going through some tests at the NCA and they’re obviously going to decide [for] how long he needs to take a break,” Shastri mentioned, talking to ABC Sport.
“But things could get difficult if he’s asked to wait for too long, [because] then you’re talking of the quarantine again, which might make it really tough for even him to come just in time for the Test series.”
Shastri mentioned that Rohit was by no means thought-about for the restricted overs leg, which incorporates three ODIs and three T20Is earlier than the primary Test which is able to begin on December 17 in Adelaide. A 14-day quarantine is the present norm in Australia amid Covid-19 and India are additionally anticipated to play a three-day warm-up match on December 11.
“He was never going to play the white-ball series, they were just looking to see how long he needed the rest, because you can’t afford to be resting for too long,” Shastri mentioned. “If you need to play in the Test series or any red-ball cricket, you’ve got to be on the flight in the next three or four days. If you aren’t, then it’s going to be tough.”
“It’s a similar case to Rohit,” Shastri mentioned of Ishant. “You don’t really know how quickly he’ll be available to fly out. Like I said, if anyone has to play in the Test series, he has to be on the flight in the next four or five days. Otherwise, it’s very difficult.”
