Rohit-Kohli set to be back for ODI series in Australia

The future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODIs is a topic of debate but they are set to board the flight to Australia for the three ODIs starting October 19 at Perth even as national selectors will be compelled to a make a few changes in the Indian squad owing either to fitness issues or workload management.

The selectors are likely to sit down on Saturday, the third day of the ongoing first Test against the West Indies in Anmedabad, to pick the squads. But there is no clarity yet on the squad announcement.

Hardik Pandya (quadriceps injury) and Rishabh Pant (recovering from foot fracture) won't be available and Test skipper Shubman Gill, who has played the Asia Cup and within three days is playing a two-Test series, will also need to take care of his body. It is only prudent that the selectors might ask him to rest from either ODIs or T20Is or both.

Both Rohit and Kohli have been working hard after a seven-month lay off from international cricket since the Champions Trophy triumph in March.
