Rohit will not be travelling with the side but coach hasn&#8217;t ruled out his participation from the series opener yet.<br \/>&#8220;There is no confirmation on Rohit as of now, hopefully he will play. We will let you know before the series,&#8221; said Gambhir.<br \/>The management, however, is keeping their back-up plans ready and Gambhir says they have the options of Abhimanyu Easwaran and KL Rahul to open in absence of Rohit Sharma.<br \/>&#8220;We have Abhimanyu Easwaran and KL Rahul in the squad so we will play the best XI and take the call before the first Test,&#8221; added Gambhir.<br \/>India have a long preparatory camp in Perth before the series opener and they would be joined by the India A squad for the match simulations. The two units were earlier scheduled to play a practice match but the management felt it was better to have centre-wicket practice and simulations instead of playing a fixture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW\">\n<p class=\"efT4r\">Middle-Order Batter?
