Rohit Sharmaは、Indian Champions TrophyチームでBumrahを「負傷」とChakaravarthyに置き換えることを提案します

Varun Chakaravarthy might be added to India cricket team’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy. The mystery spinner was added to Team India’s ODI squad for the England series yesterday (February 4) off the back of great performances in T20Is since his return to the format in October of last year. Now, Rohit Sharma has confirmed that Varun remains in contention to make Team India’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy.

Teams can tweak their squad until February 11 as per ICC’s rules, that means the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) can make changes in the next six days.

“Yeah look, he has certainly shown something different. I understand that it is a T20 format but he has clearly got something different about him. So we just wanted to have an option and see what we can do with him,” Rohit told reporters in Nagpur.

Right now, only one spot is up for grabs. And that someone who can be replaced with is Jasprit Bumrah. The pacer is currently out injured and there isn’t any update regarding his fitness.

“Clearly during the series it presents us an opportunity to play him at some stage and see what he is capable of. Right now we are not thinking about whether we are going to take him or not but definitely he will be in contention. If things plan out really well for us and he does what is required then definitely there is something that we need to think about,” the Indian skipper added.
