Mumbai, April 26. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has recommended batsman Rohit Sharma for the Arjuna Award.

The decision to recommend ODI opener Rohit for the prestigious award was taken at the Indian cricket board's Working Committee meeting in Mumbai on Sunday.

"The Working Committee recommended Mr. Rohit Sharma for the Arjuna award for the year 2015," BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said today in a media release.
