Rohit Sharma to join India squad in Perth on Sunday
Perth, Nov 21: Skipper Rohit Sharma will join the Indian team here on Sunday, the third day of the first Test against Australia at the Optus Stadium.
Rohit was unavailable for the opening Test as he stayed back in India with his family for the birth of his second child.
Rohit and his wife Ritika were blessed with a baby boy on November 15.
Premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is leading India in the Perth Test as the visitors start the defence of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
“Rohit will be arriving in Perth on the third day of the Test match,” a BCCI source confirmed to PTI.
Hence, the 37-year-old will be available for the second Test against the Australia at Adelaide from December 6.
However, Rohit has been in touch with the squad in Australia, and Bumrah said as much during his pre-match press meet on Thursday.
“I spoke with Rohit earlier. But I got a little bit of clarity on leading the side after coming in here,” said Bumrah.

Mudigere: 22-yr-old youngster hangs herself to death after father scolds her for not making curry
Mudigere: A 22-year-old young woman, Soujanya Poojary, who was upset over an apparently trivial issue, has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at home in Devavrinda village of the taluk on Saturday evening.
On Saturday morning, Soujanya’s father Natesh Poojary handed her vegetables, instructed her to prepare curry using them and went out. When he returned home in the afternoon, however, he found that his daughter had not prepared the curry and scolded her. He also told her to get curry from a neighbour’s house and again went out.
Soujanya, after being treated harshly by her father, reportedly closed the door of the house and hanged herself to death inside.
Gonibeedu Police officers, who were informed of her death, have registered a case and are investigating.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
