But we will wait and see,” said Rohit, who didn’t want to fully commit. “I am not sure whether he will be able to play the first two games against Australia at home. Some guys recover quickly, and I hope that’s the case with him,” skipper Rohit didn’t seem too confident about the speed of recovery for the Gujarat all-rounder.

It looks like maybe it will take a week or 10 days (to heal), I don’t know. The worrying part is that MRI scans have revealed that it’s a hamstring tear.

Washington Sundar was drafted in as Axar’s replacement in India’s Asia Cup squad. India captain Rohit Sharma on Friday said left-arm spinner Axar Patel is likely to miss the first two ODIs against Australia next week while middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer is “99 per cent” match-fit.Īxar had suffered a left quadriceps strain during the inconsequential Super 4 match against Bangladesh on Friday and was ruled out of the Asia Cup.
