What is the story about?
The Centre of Excellence has cleared Rohit Sharma for his fitness ahead of the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) series between India and Afghanistan.
Rohit had endured a hamstring injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 and was included in the ODI squad with a condition that he would be required to prove his fitness at the CoE in Bengaluru, which he has now duly obtained.
Hardik Pandya, who was also recuperating from a back spasm during the IPL while captaining the Mumbai Indians, also obtained a fitness clearance from the CoE shortly before Rohit got his. As a result, the star duo will now be joining the Indian squad soon, with the first ODI of the three-match series set to be played on Saturday, June 13.
