India captain Rohit Sharma has confirmed to the BCCI that he will join the team in Perth on November 24, marking Day 3 of the first Test against Australia. Although he won’t feature in the series opener, Sharma is expected to be ready for the second Test in Adelaide starting December 6. He stayed back in India for the birth of his second child, but now plans to join the squad for preparations. Rohit’s arrival boosts India’s leadership options as vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah leads in his absence for the opening Test.
