Ahead of the final Test against England, Rohit made it clear that domestic cricket is for all players and not just a few. On the third day of the Ranji Trophy final, he contacted Wankhede to ensure the players had his support for the title decider.
“This has been discussed for a long, long time. When players are available, they have to make themselves available for domestic cricket unless they have received clearance from the medical panel that they want to play.” Rested or not playing domestic cricket, but if you are available, if you are fit, if you are good, then it is important that we go and play,” Rohit said.
“It’s not just for a few cricketers but for everyone to ensure that whenever you are available, you should be able to play domestic cricket.” Rohit is busy preparing for the Dharamshala Test but still finds time Tracking the recently concluded Ranji Trophy semi-finals, his own domestic team Mumbai also participated.
“You saw the Ranji Trophy that was played this week. I watched the Mumbai and Tamil Nadu game and obviously a very interesting game happened today too and I thought Vidarbha won (they won on Wednesday) .
“When games like this happen, you see the quality and everything is on display for everyone to watch. It is important that we value domestic cricket, which is the core of Indian cricket,” he said.
