NEW DELHI: Veteran domestic batter from Bengal Abhimanyu Easwaran has been called up as Rohit Sharma's replacement for the first Test against Bangladesh starting December 14 in Chattogram. Rohit failed to recover from a left thumb injury that he sustained during the second ODI in Dhaka.
Easwaran, who was born in Dehradun and moved to Kolkata to pursue his cricket career when he was just 10 years old, has been a domestic stalwart for Bengal and has been knocking on the India selection doors for quite a while now.
