BCCI questioned by fans on Twitter for confusion over Rohit Sharma's injury

The curious case of Rohit Sharma's injury has baffled a certain section of Indian fans. There still seems to be no clarity regarding the swashbuckling cricketer's availability for the crucial India vs Australia 2020 series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently shared an update regarding the batsman's fitness and the board's approach regarding the whole situation irked fans as they expressed their displeasure on social media. 

Lack of clarity over Rohit Sharma's injury has not gone down well with cricket fans 

The BCCI recently made an announcement regarding the 33-year-old where they mentioned that the cricketer is currently stationed in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for his rehabilitation. The final call on his inclusion will be taken by the board after a medical assessment on December 11. Considering the mandatory quarantine norms in Australia, Rohit Sharma could well likely miss the first half of the 4-match Test series, even if he is cleared by the medical team.

The BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly, in a media interaction during the IPL 2020, had commented on Rohit Sharma's omission from the Indian squad and cautioned the player that a hamstring injury could rupture if not given proper attention. However, Rohit Sharma was seen in action leading the Mumbai franchise in their last three matches of the cash-rich league, which contradicted Sourav Ganguly's claims. Rohit Sharma was later added to the Test squad, and Sourav Ganguly revealed that the star batsman was still only 70% fit, which is why he could not make the cut for the white-ball matches.

Speaking on the matter, he stated that he felt the opening batsman was fit after he returned to play for the Mumbai franchise. With several reports stating that Sourav Ganguly is likely to negotiate a shorter quarantine, the ball still not completely in India's court. Fans vented their frustration on Twitter regarding all the confusion surrounding the player's inclusion for India vs Australia 2020.
