Rohit Sharma to play 1st BGT Test?

It would be fair to say that Rohit has welcomed his new baby boy a little earlier than what many expected. He has decided to stay with his wife in these heartwarming times, which is truly commendable and justified. However, this now leaves an opportunity for him to take a call on the participation for the opening Test against Australia. The Perth challenge will start in six days from now.
