KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who has been chosen for the India tour of Australia, is suffering from a shoulder problem and is unable to pitch. In an apparent surprise, a report in the Indian Express claims that the KKR spinner that was deemed fit and therefore chosen for the major tour is actually unsuitable.
Chakravarthy has been chosen for the three-game T20I series, but now, as reports suggest, he could be another victim of improper coordination between BCCI and the IPL franchise.
Previously, Rohit Sharma also made headlines for all the wrong reasons, as the right-hander was deemed unfit for the Australian series. He later appeared in the Mumbai Indian knockout games in the IPL. The newspaper report also claims that Chakravarthy was injured during the IPL and, as the tournament progressed, it got worse. It was also revealed that he stayed on the 30-yard inner circle while fielding so his injury wouldn’t get worse.

“The selectors were not informed of the injury. Now it is up to the selectors to choose Varun for the Australian tour or not. It will be called by the selectors, ”a BCCI official told The Indian Express. Players hired by BCCI are monitored by the franchise and if an injury occurs, the BCCI is informed so that the BCCI physio remains on top of things.

This development is due to the back injury of several Indian players, including Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha and Ishant Sharma. India’s Australia tour begins with three ODIs starting on November 27, followed by T20 from December 4 before the first of four tests begins on December 17.
