Rohit Sharma talks about probable changes in India’s squad for upcoming 2nd Test against West Indies

After a 1-month break, the Indian cricket team finally came back in action for a multi-format West Indies tour. The long tour started with a 2-match Test series, which started on July 12. The Men in Blue have already taken a 1-0 lead over the West Indies team with a dominating win by an innings and 141 runs in the first Test.

India will now face the Caribbeans in the 2nd Test at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain on Thursday. Meanwhile, ahead of the series, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma talked about if there will be any changes in the squad or not. Talking about that, Rohit said that they don’t have any idea how will the pitch behave and there won’t be any drastic changes.

“In Dominica, we had a clear idea when we saw the pitch and knew the conditions. Here we don’t have clarity as there is talk of rain, but I don’t think there will be drastic changes. But whatever conditions are available, based on that, we will make that decision,” Rohit was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

I am happy that our boys who are coming in are doing well: Rohit Sharma

There were 2 debutants in the first Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan. Jaiswal opened the innings with Rohit and smashed a century, while Kishan managed to score only 1 run before Rohit declared the innings. Rohit talked about the transition which is slowly happening to the team and said that it will happen someday but he wants every young player who gets the opportunity must utilise it fully.

“Transition has to happen, whether today or tomorrow but I am happy that our boys who are coming in are doing well. And our role is important as we have to give them role clarity. Now it’s up to them how they want to prepare and perform for the team. And we rely on those individuals and obviously, they are the future of Indian cricket and they will take Indian cricket to greater heights,” Rohit said.
