The veteran Indian cricketer, Rohit Sharma is back to Indian to enjoy with his newly born daughter Samaira after a hectic tour of New Zealand, where India clinched the ODI series 4-1 but lost the T20I series 1-2. He took to Instagram to post an image, where he can be seen taking a sound nap with daughter Samaira.
The image is inviting several reactions by fans and users. He wrote, “This is special, so good to be back”. Rohit is expected to go join the Indian team in the home series versus Australia, which starts February 24.
The Indian selection committee will have a meeting on Friday to pick the squad for the five-match ODI series against Australia, with the players’ workload in perspective ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019, to be hosted by England from 30 May to 14 July 2019.
India has won the World Cup twice in the ODI history of 44 years, with the last one in 2011 under the leadership of MS Dhoni. After eight years, 37-year-old wicket-keeper Dhoni will be under the spotlight if he manages to secure a place in the Virat Kohli-led squad for World Cup. Workload management of the stars will be on top of the mind when the selection panel meet in Mumbai to pick the squad for the white ball series against Australia.

Team India is looking forward to locking horns with Australia for two T20Is and five ODIs. It will be the last set of international games that the boys get before going into the 2019 World Cup in England, starting on May 30. The only practice they will get after this is in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The selection panel will look at keeping the right balance as they would not only wish to give the senior guys ample rest before going into the showpiece event but also wouldn’t want to give the Australians having an upper hand in what will be the last series before the World Cup. India has been playing incessantly overseas and the fast bowling wolf pack has had no real rest.
