Rohit Sharma to miss entire CLT20

Rohit Sharma is facing a lengthy layoff from the game due to multiple injuries. After sustaining a fractured finger in the recent ODI series against England, Rohit has also suffered a shoulder injury, thus effectively ruling him out of the CLT20. According to a report, Rohit visited the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore. Physiotherapists stated that this additional shoulder injury means that Rohit will miss another four weeks and he now faces a race against time to be fit for the first ODI against the West Indies in Kochi on October 8. Rohit's unavailability is a big jolt for Mumbai Indians, who are the defending CLT20 champions. Pollard, who led the Barbados Tridents to the 2014 CPL, might lead the team as they take on Lahore Lions in the first qualifier in Raipur on September 13.
