World Test Championship: India captain Rohit Sharma's childhood coach Dinesh Lad has suggested that the opening batter should play a couple of domestic games to prepare for Test cricket after his dismal form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

India lost the five-Test series 3-1 and missed out on a third successive spot in the World Test Championship final. Rohit, who missed the first Test of the series due to the birth of his second child, failed to score beyond 10 runs next five innings before opting to rest in the fifth Test at Sydney Cricket Ground. He accumulated only 31 runs in five innings of the series and came under public scrutiny for his substandard outings.

Moreover, former cricketers and the media also questioned his leadership skills, which lost India a chance to win the ICC major in red-ball cricket.
