The possibility of Rohit Shama's unavailability for the opening Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Australia because of personal reasons is not the ideal situation for the Indian team whose hopes of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) are in jeopardy after the whitewash at home against New Zealand.
The Kiwis defeated India 3-0 to become the first team to register a clean sweep in a three-Test series on the Indian soil, which has rocked India's preparation and confidence ahead of their defence of the BGT.
