Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector of the Indian men's cricket team, is expected to have a crucial meeting with skipper Rohit Sharma, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and BCCI officials to address the team's recent poor performances in Test cricket.

During the interview, Rohit Sharma suggested that he "isn't retiring" and said that he decided to "opt out" of the match owing to poor form.

Indian Cricket Team Head coach Gautam Gambhir has come out publicly to clear the air off the rumours that there is an ongoing rift between him and Indian team captain — Rohit Sharma. The statemant was released during the press conference for the Sydney Test one day prior to it's commencement,

Rohit Sharma is 'rested' for the 5th Test vs Australia after informing about his decision to Agarkar and Gambhir. Jasprit Bumrah will captain India in Sydney.

In nine innings of the five Test matches, Virat Kohli managed only 190 runs. The only big run that came from his bat was in the second innings of the first Test at Perth, where he remained unbeaten on 100. In the next seven innings, his highest score was 36.

"Yes, there will be a review meeting but no firing. C'mon, you can't sack a coach for the batters' poor show in one series. Gautam Gambhir will remain the coach, and Virat and Rohit will feature in the England series. The focus is Champions Trophy," BCCI sources told IANS on Tuesday.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir said struggling stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have the hunger to excel and will decide on their Test future keeping the team's best interest in mind. Gambhir's comments on the two veterans came after India's 1-3 series loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Virat Kohli last played a Ranji Trophy match in 2012 while Rohit Sharma's most recent domestic red-ball game was in the 2015-16 season.

Gambhir makes it clear that he wants Test hopefuls to take domestic cricket seriously, and play the Ranji Trophy if they are not committed elsewhere

India coach Gautam Gambhir said veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have a future in the team if they want it, despite disappointing returns on the test tour of Australia. The tourists went down 3-1 in the series after losing the fifth test by six wickets on Sunday to relinquish the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade.

Gautam Gambhir believes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma maintain their hunger and passion, despite recent poor performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Kohli’s and Rohit's recent struggles have raised questions about their future in Test cricket.
