It is heartening to know that KL Rahul is fully fit and set to open with Jaiswal at Perth. At the same time, it is a total disappointment that our Captain, Rohit Sharma, has decided to spend time with his newborn son than to lead the team from the front.
Anyway it could prove to be a blessing in disguise, as his form is not at all good. Similarly, we are also disappointed that our selectors have overlooked the recovery of Mohammad Shami, who was instrumental in the West Bengal Ranji match. Ironically, the selectors have retained India “A” squad members. At this stage we could only feel sorry for Mohammad Shami and the Indian Team!
