India squad announcement for Australia tour Highlights: The Agarkar-led All India Senior Men's Selection Committee has announced the squads for the Australia tour. There have been some big changes in the ODI set up. The BCCI have selected the squad keeping an eye on the fact that the ODI world Cup is just a couple of years away....Read More
Shubman Gill have been named as the ODI captain of the Indian team for the Australia tour with Shreyas Iyer his deputy. While Rohit Sharma loses his post, both him and Kohli are still a part of the side.
The squad for the T20I series against Australia has also been announced. Suryakumar Yadav has retained his captaincy in the shortest format of international cricket, while Shubman Gill continues as the vice-captain of the side.
Jasprit Bumrah is not a part of the ODI squad, while he will be featuring in the T20Is. The decision from BCCI is probably keeping in mind the fact that the T20 WC is the next big assignment for the side, while the ODI WC is still a couple of years away. Given the fact that the Bumrah turned up for the West Indies Test series, immediately after the Asia Cup the call from the selection committee seems fair and square.
India squad announcement live Updates: Shreyas Iyer available for selection
While Shreyas Iyer has decided to take rest from red-ball cricket, he is avaialble for selection for the ODI series. Given his performance in the Champions Trophy, Iyer is a crucial part of the Indian batting line-up. Especially his consistency and ability to play big knocks makes him an important part of India's plans for the 2027 ODI WC.
India squad announcement live Updates: Discussion about captaincy change likely
India squad announcement live Updates: Just like Rohit Sharma's spot in the ODI squad, there is no real threat to his ODI captaincy unless he himself wants to concentrate just on batting. But according to a PTI report, since there are only nine ODIs this season -- three away games against Australia and six home games at the end of the year -- a concrete decision might not be taken in haste. The priority at the moment rests with the T20 World Cup early next year at home, and gaining the maximum WTC points from the four home Tests in 2025.
India squad announcement live Updates: Shubman Gill to be rested?
India squad announcement live Updates: India Test skipper Shubman Gill, who has played the Asia Cup and within three days is playing a two-Test series, needs to take care of his body. It should not be a surprise if Gill is given a break from the Australia tour, if not the ODIs then definitely from the T20Is.
India squad announcement live Updates: Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya ruled out
India squad announcement live Updates: Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant are two key members of India's ODI setup who won't be available for selection due to injuries. Pant is still nursing his fractured foot sustained during the fourth Test in England while Pandya got injured during the last group-stage match against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup.
India squad announcement live Updates: All eyes on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli
India squad announcement live Updates: Will they? Won't they? Well, even during the Asia Cup and the England tour, the discussion was always about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODI cricket as that is the only format they are still available for selection. The last time they featured in an Indian jersey, they won the Champions Trophy where Rohit was the skipper. By sheer cricketing logic, there is no reason why both Rohit and Kohli should not be automatic choices for the Australia ODIs. But… one is never too far away from a twist in Indian cricket.
