    India's limited-overs captain Rohit Sharma could return to action in the white-ball series against West Indies, starting next month. Rohit recently missed the three-match Test series in South Africa due to a hamstring strain. The injury also ruled out him of the subsequent ODI series. On Monday, a BCCI source informed PTI that Rohit is likely to recover ahead of the WI series.

    Why does it matter?

    After leading Team India in the home T20Is against New Zealand, Rohit missed the South Africa tour due to injury. KL Rahul will lead in his place in the ODI series. Rohit had sustained a left hamstring injury during a training session in Mumbai ahead of the tour. He had replaced Virat Kohli as India's white-ball captain in December.

    Here is the latest update

    "Rohit's rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy is going pretty well. He is expected to be okay for the West Indies series. It's still close to three weeks from now before the first ODI is played in Ahmedabad from February 6," a BCCI source said.

    Hamstring issues have perpetually troubled Rohit

    Hamstring issues have perpetually troubled Rohit. He missed the first two Tests and the white-ball leg in Australia in 2020/21 due to the same. As per BCCI's incumbent policy, every player has to clear fitness tests at the NCA in order to play a national series. The selection committee gains information about the availability of the players only from these fitness tests.

    Rohit is the front-runner to replace Kohli as Test captain

    Rohit is the front-runner to replace Kohli as India's Test captain. The latter left the role on Saturday. He was recently appointed India's T20I and ODI captain. It should not come as a surprise if he is handed the charge of the Test side. He is known for his methodical and calm nature. In 43 Test matches, Rohit has scored 3,047 runs at 46.87.
