That’s a good question. Hopefully, Rohit remarked during a press conference before the competition. Head coach Mark Boucher was also in attendance and told reporters that Arjun has pleased many with his bowling and that if he is ready, he would be considered for selection.
Arjun has recently recovered from an injury. He’ll be on the pitch tonight. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see what he’s capable of. In the last six months, I believe he has been playing extremely strong cricket, particularly bowling. So, sure, having him available for selection will be beneficial to us Boucher went on to say.
Boucher also discussed the prospect of resting Rohit for a few games during the tournament, given India will compete in the ODI World Cup later this year.
When it comes to resting Rohit, he is the skipper. Hopefully he comes into shape and doesn’t want to rest, but we’ll adjust to whatever the scenario is, Boucher told the reporters.
