On the Work Front:

Currently, Ishant Sharma is in his rehab period for the injury he sustained in the fifth Test in England. He missed the Test series against the Windies and concentrating on becoming the fittest ahead of the Australian tour.

The lanky fast bowler will once again hold the key when India travels Austalia later this year. Meanwhile, he might be available for a couple of games in the Ranji Trophy for Delhi.

Coming to Virender Sehwag, he will be present in the upcoming T10 Cricket Cup, where he is icon player of the tournament. Further, he might also be available in the commentary panel for the forthcoming series in Australia.
