Rohit’s future in international cricket

The report mentions that Rohit’s participation in that tour is ‘very less’.

I mean, the first thing he’s going to see when he gets home is a two-month-old baby whose diapers he has to change. Now it might encourage him to go to England. But I don’t see him continuing,” he said. He added, “I think he’s probably going to struggle in the Champions Trophy, and that could be… that could take him out of the game,” he added.
