BCCI on Wednesday shared photographs of Virat Kohli and Co. in their new safety kit ahead of boarding the flight.

“#TeamIndia is BACK! Let’s embrace the new normal,” tweeted BCCI.

All 30 cricketers of the ODI, T20I and Test squads are travelling together and they are set to observe a mandatory 14-day quarantine after landing in Australia before the three-match ODI series kickstarts from November 27 in Sydney.

The three ODIs would be played on November 27, 29, and December 2 at Sydney Cricket Ground and at the Manuka Oval in Canberra respectively.

The first T20I will also be played in Canberra on December 4 and the rest two on December 6 and 8 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The first Test set to be played under lights from December 17 to 21 at the Adelaide Oval.

India captain Virat Kohli will return home after the first Test in Adelaide which will be India’s first pink ball day-night Test in Australia due to the birth of his first child. The BCCI granted him paternity leave and in his absence Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain) in all probability will lead in the last three matches.

Rohit Sharma, who led Mumbai Indians to their fifth IPL title, was rested from the ODI and T20I sides to nurse his hamstring injury and comeback fitter in the four-match Test series.
