Rohit seen practicing in MI nets
However, what raised several eyebrows after Rohit was seen practising at the Mumbai Indians' nets within hours of being left out of the India squad.
The tour of Australia comprises three T20 Internationals, as many ODIs and four Tests. The series is scheduled to start on November 27.
Opener Mayank Agarwal, who too has missed out on the last two games for KXIP due to injury, was named in the Indian contingent for the tour.
Gavaskar calls for transparency
The development sparked a furore over social media as many questioned BCCI for this confusion. Even former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar for more transparency on the status.
"The Indian cricket fan deserves to know, more than anything else. The franchisees, I understand. They don't want to give their hand away. They don't want to give the oppositions any psychological advantage. "But we are talking about the Indian team here. Even Mayank Agarwal for example. For an Indian cricket fan, they ought to know what happens to two of their key players," Gavaskar said. Rohit may not be in the India squad but there is a possibility that he will return to lead Mumbai Indians later in the IPL.
