Rohit is currently in quarantine in Australia where the Indian team is involved in a four-Test series.

"Team India batsman Rohit Sharma has completed his rehabilitation process at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and is now clinically fit...the NCA medical Team was satisfied with the physical fitness of Sharma after assessing him on different metrics that tested his skills related to batting, fielding and running between the wickets. Sharma's physical fitness has been satisfactory, however, he will be required to continue work on his endurance," a statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had said on December 12.

His return will be crucial for Team India after they suffered a humiliating eight-wicket team in the first Test at the Adelaide Oval.

The Indian team will be without regular captain Virat Kohli in the remaining three matches of the Test series and in his place, vice captain Ajinkya Rahane will lead the side.
