Rohit Sharma May Take a Break During the West Indies Tour

India’s captain Rohit Sharma is likely to take a break from the upcoming tour of the West Indies due to his recent form slump. The national selectors will decide the team for the tour on June 27, the day before the Duleep Trophy in Bangalore begins.

Test Matches Scheduled in Dominica and Trinidad

The first Test match of the tour is scheduled to be held in Dominica on July 12 and the second Test will take place in Trinidad.

Rohit to Take a Break

Rohit appeared a bit tired during the IPL 2023 and the World Test Championship final in England, prompting the selectors to consider giving him a break from the upcoming tour. As a result, Rohit may not participate in the Tests or the eight-game white-ball series (three ODIs and five T20Is). The selectors will discuss the matter with Rohit before making a decision, according to TOI.

Rohit’s Struggles in IPL 2023

Rohit’s performance in the IPL-2023 was far from impressive as he managed to score only 332 runs in 16 games at an average of 20.75. He was also dismissed for 15 and 43 in the WTC final at the Oval versus Australia.

Conclusion

Though Rohit Sharma has been a consistent performer for India, his recent form slump is likely to lead to a break from the upcoming West Indies tour. The national selectors will make a decision on the team for the tour on June 27. Rohit’s struggles in IPL 2023 and the World Test Championship final in England have been noted, and the selectors will talk to him before deciding on his participation in the tour.
