Sharma out of 4th test

India batsman Rohit Sharma will not play in the fourth test against Australia, starting on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground, instead returning home after the birth of his first child. Sharma left Melbourne shortly after India’s 137-run victory in the third test, where the middle-order batsman made 63 not out in the first innings, as the tourists took a 2-1 series lead. The 31-year-old will return to Sydney on January 8 for the start of a three-match one-day international series. Allrounder Hardik Pandya, Lokesh Rahul and Murali Vijay are the likely options to replace Sharma in the lineup for the fourth test as India seeks to seal its first series win in Australia.
