The left arm fast bowler from Tamil Nadu has been included as a cover for Navdeep Saini, who complained of back spasm during practice in Sydney.

The BCCI has released an update on the players fitness:  

Rohit Sharma – He is presently undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA. Mr Rohit Sharma’s next assessment will be conducted on December 11^th following which the BCCI will have clarity on his participation in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.

Ishant Sharma –  Ishant has recovered completely from his side strain injury sustained during IPL 2020 in the U.A.E. While he’s building up his workload in order to achieve Test match fitness, Mr Ishant Sharma has been ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
