Rohit Sharma to headline Ranji Trophy
It’s confirmed! Rohit Sharma has decided to return to domestic cricket after almost a decade as the Indian captain will face the talented J&K pacers from January 23. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been adamant about players to feature in domestic cricket when available and fit. The cricketing body cracked a whip on the players, coming up with numerous SOPs, including a non-negotiable stance on players to play domestic cricket. The likes of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja have all confirmed their availability. Joining the bandwagon is India’s Test captain Rohit, who faced wrath after his horrible show with the bat in the recent Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT).
