India captain Rohit Sharma has been passed fit to lead the team for the upcoming series against the West Indies in February.
The 34-year-old batsman is only just recovering from injury, having missed out on the team’s most recent tour of South Africa, which ended in a disappointing 3-0 loss.
According to reports, the batsman is already back in training and will be ready to go for the T20 and perhaps ODI series. The series will get underway on February 6th, while the T20 series gets underway on February 16th. Rohit is recovering from a left hamstring injury. In the past, the player has captained India vs the West Indies in three matches in 2018. India won the series 3-0. Overall, in 17 T20Is India has won 10 and lost 6.
"Rohit is fit and available for the series against the West Indies," a BCCI source was quoted as saying.
"By the time the West Indies series starts, it will be more than seven and half weeks of rehabilitation and recuperation for Rohit.
The West Indies are expected to head to India immediately after the England tour.
