New father Rohit Sharma to play in Perth Test against Australia? Here’s what former BCCI president says

Live Mint  

Former India captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Saturday said there's no point of Rohit Sharma giving the first Test against Australia a miss after the latter became father for the second time. The 37-year-old Rohit who didn't travel with the Indian team to Australia last month, stayed back in India to be by his wife Ritika Sajdeh's side as she gave birth to a baby boy on Friday night. With the first Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy beginning on November 22, Ganguly said there is still a week's time for Rohit to fly out to Australia. There were doubts about Rohit's participation in the first Test although head coach Gautam Gambhir was quite hopeful that the captain might just be available.
