It has been learnt that Rohit isn't part of the selectors' red-ball plans beyond the Australia tour and this was told to him prior to the Sydney Test. The fourth Test at Melbourne, which Australia won by 184 runs, was likely the captain's last game in India whites.

It is unclear what plans the selectors have for Virat Kohli even as the Test team is in the midst of a major transition. But they will speak to the former captain after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series.

Ravindra Jadeja, the other senior player in the squad, will continue to remain in the scheme of things, with the all-rounder's presence being valued during the transition phase.
