IND vs AUS / Rohit's Test career is over, he won't get another chance - BCCI confirms!

IND vs AUS: Indian cricket team opener and captain Rohit Sharma's Test career is on the verge of ending. According to the latest reports, the Melbourne Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia may prove to be his last match. The BCCI selectors have made it clear that there is no plan to include Rohit in the Test team further.

Rohit's Test career ends after Melbourne Test

Rohit Sharma was already dropped from the Sydney Test. This tough decision was taken due to his disappointing performance as a batsman and captain. Team head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar held a meeting with Rohit, in which it was decided that he would be dropped from the Test team after the Melbourne Test.

Rohit has scored only 31 runs in five innings of three Test matches played so far in this series. No big innings has come out of his bat for a long time. Not only this, his performance was very poor in the last two Test series as well. Rohit failed to score runs in the Test matches against New Zealand and Bangladesh.

Meeting with Virat Kohli

According to the report of Indian Express, a phase of big change has started in the Indian team. The selectors have had a clear conversation with Rohit Sharma about the future of his Test career. Now the next step is to have a meeting with Virat Kohli. The future of the team and the strategy of change will also be discussed with Kohli.

In this meeting, Kohli will be asked about his plan and a decision will be taken on the future of his Test career. Kohli has been in form for some time now, but his role can also be redefined as part of the team's long-term plan.

The process of change in the team has started

A big change is being seen in the Indian team. Senior spinner R Ashwin has already announced his retirement from this tour. Now it has been decided to drop Rohit Sharma from the Test team as well. However, the team's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be retained to play an important role in Test cricket.

Ravindra Jadeja's importance will remain

According to the selectors, Ravindra Jadeja is a very important player for the team and he will be retained in Test cricket for the time being. Looking at Jadeja's all-round abilities, the selectors want him to work with the young players and continue to contribute to the team.

At the same time, there is a plan to develop young players like Washington Sundar in Test cricket. Sundar will benefit from Jadeja's experience and he can become a strong option for the team in future.

Why was the decision taken to exclude Rohit?

The decision to exclude Rohit Sharma from the team has not been taken only on the basis of his recent performance. Rohit has been able to score only one half-century in the last eight Test matches. There has been a lack of consistency in his batting, which had become a matter of concern for the team.

Rohit's performance was also very poor in the first three Test matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He scored only 31 runs in five innings, making it clear that his form is no longer suitable for Test cricket.

Conclusion

Rohit Sharma's Test career is now coming to an end. The Melbourne Test could prove to be his last match. The selectors and coaching staff have made it clear that the process of change in the team has started and emphasis is being laid on giving opportunities to young players.

In this phase of change, Virat Kohli's future is also in discussion. The Indian cricket team is moving towards a new direction, where plans are being made to gradually remove senior players and bring young talents forward. Players like Ravindra Jadeja are going to play an important role in this change. Now it will be interesting to see how the Indian team reorganizes its Test format in the coming times.
