Senior India batsman Rohit Sharma was today declared “clinically fit” by the Indian cricket board (BCCI), but notably, he would be required to work on his endurance.

Sharma is expected to leave for Australia on Sunday, and he would be in quarantine for 14 days there. He could play in the last two Tests, subject to a positive assessment by the squad’s medical team. BCCI today stated that the National Cricket Academy medical team was satisfied with his fitness “after assessing him on different metrics that tested his skills related to batting, fielding and running between the wickets”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
