According to Cricbuzz’s reports, the duo are unlikely to feature in the three-match series that begins on November 13 (Thursday) contrast to the previous reports.
Rohit and Kohli were part of India’s 2-1 ODI series loss against Australia, were they put on a great show. While Kohli started the series with consecutive ducks, the right-hander showed signs of old times, with a well-constructed 74* in the third encounter in Sydney. Meanwhile, Rohit carried on his ODI form, with 73 and 121*, ensuring that there’s no doubt over his form and fitness.
However, Cricbuzz’s reports claimed that the selectors are looking at the three-match List A series to identify the future. Not just that, the Indian selectors are also expected to meet soon to finalise the 15-member squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa at home.
Rishabh Pant, who made his comeback in the first Unofficial Test against South Africa A, is likely to return to the Test setup. Dhruv Jurel, who played at his expense, will retain his place as the back-up, with Narayan Jagadeesan dropping out of the squad.
