On 10 December 2022, team India will take on Bangladesh in the third and final match of the ongoing ODI series. However, after that, they will play a two-match Test series. But, the Men in Blue dealt a significant blow when their skipper, Rohit Sharma suffered a massive blow to his thumb while fielding in the slips during the second ODI in Mirpur. However, after the match, Rahul Dravid provided a significant update regarding Rohit’s availability in the upcoming game and Test series.
He said: “We are struggling with a few injuries as well which is not ideal and not easy for us. I think Deepak (Chahar) and Rohit (Sharma) will certainly miss the next match. Kuldeep is also out of the series. Rohit will fly back to Bombay, consult with an expert to see how it is, and confirm whether he can come back for the Test series or not. It is too early to say anything but he will be out for the next match for sure.” Now, regarding the same, Jay Shah came up with a big update.
“A call on his availability for the upcoming Test series will be taken later” - Jay Shah about Rohit Sharma
In a press release, the secretary of the Indian Cricket Board, Jay Shah said: "The Indian Cricket Board’s Medical Team assessed him and he underwent scans at a local hospital in Dhaka. He has flown to Mumbai for specialist consultation and will miss the final ODI. A call on his availability for the upcoming Test series will be taken later.”
He also provided updates regarding the recent injuries to Kuldeep Sen and Deepak Chahar. "Fast bowler Kuldeep Sen complained of stiffness in his back after the first ODI. The Indian Cricket Board’s Medical Team assessed him and he was advised to rest from the 2nd ODI. Kuldeep has been diagnosed with a stress injury and is ruled out of the series. Fellow fast bowler Deepak Chahar sustained a left hamstring strain during the 2nd ODI and is also ruled out of the series. Both Kuldeep and Deepak will now report to NCA for further management of their injuries," Jay Shah concluded.
