'Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma would love to...': BCCI gets final advice to respond to India's 'desperation' ahead of BGT

Hindustan Times  

After former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, ex-India batter Sanjay Manjrekar joined the chorus in sending a final advice to the BCCI to schedule a warm-up game for the touring Indian team in Australia ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which begins on November 22 in Perth. India's Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma,Abhishek Nayar and Coach Gautam Gambhir, during practice session India were scheduled to play a warm-up game at the WACA, the old Test venue in Perth, against India A, who were in the country for a red-ball series against Australia A. However, Manjrekar, speaking to ESPNCricinfo, reckoned that India "desperately" need a warm-up game before the series as he highlighted the struggles of the India A batters, who were largely in form during the first-class season at home. While the concerns around India's batting ahead of the series have largely pertained to Rohit and Kohli's numbers from the recent New Zealand series, where the scored 91 and 93 runs respectively, but the veteran India batter felt that it was the younger lot in the Indian Test squad who are more in need of a warm-up game, given it is their maiden tour of Australia.
