Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid has given a big update on the health of Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday. Rohit was recently found corona positive during the practice match against Leicestershire. After this, his RT-PCR report came positive again on Wednesday. After this, it was told in media reports that Jasprit Bumrah will captain Team India in the one-off Test against England. However, Dravid has something else to say. Speaking to the media in the virtual press conference, Dravid talked about whether Rohit Sharma will be available for the game or not. Dravid said- So the update on Rohit is that our medical team is looking after him. He has not yet been out of the playing-11 for the Test against England. Obviously they have to bring a negative report to play. We will keep monitoring them. There are still many hours left in the test. His investigation is to be held tomorrow. Right now it is up to the medical team and the sports science team to decide on it. We will keep an eye on the situation. The practice match between India and Leicestershire ended in a draw. At the same time, England defeated New Zealand 3-0 in the three-match Test series. Regarding the decision to hand over the captaincy to Bumrah, Dravid said that it should be seen that the information comes from official sources only. Dravid said- To answer your next question (Will Bumrah be the captain), I think talks with official sources can help more. Once it is clear about Rohit, only then will any official information come out. It is not in my favor to confirm about Bumrah. Asked whether Rohit Sharma’s condition has hampered the team’s preparations, Dravid said- When I took over as coach I didn’t even think that working with so many captains in the last 6-7 months Will have. Some players have unfortunately suffered injuries. It happens. It is also quite unfortunate that in the last three weeks, Rahul and Rohit have become unfit together. Sometimes we have to balance the workload. Dravid said- You do not take any work thinking that I have come to do this, but if the situation is like that then it has to be accepted. We have done exceptionally well in the last six to eight months, leaving aside the captaincy issue. Yes, obviously the South Africa Test series was a series where I would have definitely won that series after a 1-0 lead. In that too we did not give up and presented a tough challenge. Many of our players were not available for that Test series. We have to have a plan ready for every situation.
