    Rohit should have been included in Wisden's list: VVS Laxman

    Former Indian batsman VVS Laxman voiced his opinion as opener Rohit Sharma was left out of the recently announced Wisden's list of five players. Laxman believes World Cup is a greater stage to perform than Ashes and hence Rohit's terrific performance should have been acknowledged. Ben Stokes and Ellyse Perry were named the leading Cricketers of 2019 by Wisden Almanack. Here is more.
