Former cricketer Sourav Ganguly hoped India skipper Rohit Sharma would travel to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) very soon since his team needs him.

Due to the birth of his second child, the Indian skipper did not travel with the team to Perth ahead of the Border Gavaskar series opener. With less than a week left in the commencement of the series, it is still unclear if Rohit will feature in the opening Test against Australia.
