Rohit is a guaranteed starter in India’s playing XI however, he did not participate in the side’s first warm-up fixture against England in Dubai.
The decision was taken by the management to allow Rohit some much needed rest before the jam-packed schedule begins and also to give some game time to the likes of Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul.
The youngsters grabbed the opportunity with both hands as they put in brilliant individual performances and ensured that Sharma’s absence is not felt.
India’s campaign for the trophy will begin on October 24 with
their opening fixture to be played against arch rivals Pakistan.
The match will
be played at the Dubai International Stadium and India will be hoping to start
their journey on the right foot by registering a win in their first match.
