    What's the story

    BCCI president Sourav Ganguly opened up on the availability of marquee players Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma for Team India's impending tour Down Under.

    He stated that both the players are still in contention for the tour and could make a return.

    Notably, his statement comes after the BCCI left out the duo from India's squads.

    Here is more.

    'We want them fit for the tour', says Ganguly

    "We are monitoring Ishant and Rohit. Ishant is not completely out. He will become a part of Test series. With Rohit, we want him fit for Australia. If he is fit, I am sure the selectors will rethink his position," Ganguly told Hindustan Times.

    India will miss the services of Rohit and Ishant

    If Rohit and Ishant remain unfit, Team India will miss their services in Australia.

    The former now spearheads India's top order across formats.

    Notably, he finished as the second-highest run-scorer (2,442) in international cricket, last year.

    On the other hand, Ishant has been a vital cog in the pace-bowling attack (Tests).

    He picked up 11 wickets at 23.82 in the historic (2018) Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
