CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh
India’s Test captain Rohit Sharma is likely to make a comeback to the national side for the second and final Test against Bangladesh, starting from December 22 in Mirpur, India’s NDTV reported Friday.
Sharma, who missed the first Test here at Zahur Ahmed Chaudhary Stadium, went for rehabilitation and will recover in time before the second Test match and will fly to Bangladesh for the match, the NDTV reported.
According to Indian media reports, it was found out by the medical team that this persistent injury was keeping him out of action, and even forced him out of the first Test against Bangladesh, which began on 14 December.
KL Rahul led the Indian Test team in his absence while uncapped batter Abhimanyu Easwaran replaced him in the squad. 27-year-old Easwaran has played 78 first-class matches so far, scoring 5576 runs at 45.33.
