The Team India squad for the upcoming tour of Australia was announced by the All-India Senior Selection Committee met via video-conference on Monday.
Team India are scheduled to play three T20Is, three ODIs and four Test matches against Australia.
But in what can be called a huge setback, India star opener Rohit Sharma has been eliminated from Team India's squad for all three formats. This comes due to Rohit&rsquo;s hamstring injury at the ongoing IPL.
Meanwhile KXIP skipper KL Rahul and spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be making their returns to the Test squad while fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has also received a call-up for the 4 match series and will be replacing an injured Ishant Sharma.
Another highlight in the squad announcement is Varun Chakravarthy, a quality pick at the IPL 2020, being included in India's T20I lineup.
BCCI in its statement said that they will 'continue to monitor the progress of Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma.'
