AFP, New Delhi :
Key batsman Rohit Sharma has recovered from a hamstring injury and been cleared to join India’s tour in Australia, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said on Saturday.
Sharma “completed his rehabilitation process at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore and is now clinically fit,” the BCCI said in a statement.
The Mumbai Indians captain has been at the national centre since November 19 after suffering a left hamstring injury during the Indian Premier League.
He had been given a detailed programme to follow during the two weeks he will be quarantined for in Australia, the statement said.
Doctors will check Sharma’s fitness again after the quarantine and make a call on his participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Australia are just ahead of India in the world rankings and the Adelaide game will be the visitors’ first day-night five-day game on foreign soil.
