'It didn't come as a surprise': Michael Atherton on Rohit Sharma's Test retirement ahead of England tour

The call was expected after the Border-Gavaskar series, but it has now come days before the Test squad is to be announced for the England tour and it seemed like Rohit wasn't in the team management's plan going into the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
