The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia starting next month. The Indian team will tour Australia for this series. This time in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a 5-match Test series will be played between the two teams for which the Indian team has been announced. Delhi fast bowler Harshit Rana and Andhra all-rounder Nitish Reddy have been included for the first time in the Rohit Sharma-led 18-member Indian squad for the tour of Australia.
The surprising thing is that Mohammed Shami has not been included in the squad for the series against Australia. Mohammed Shami has been out of the team for almost a year due to injury. He had an ankle operation from which it took him a long time to recover. While until a few days ago Shami was expected to be fit until the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, it has now become clear that it will take time for the fast bowler to return to the field. Apart from Shami, Kuldeep Yadav has also been shown leaving the team. He will have to miss the tour of Australia due to injury.

In fact, Kuldeep Yadav has been recommended for long-term rehabilitation for his back injury. Axar Patel has been dropped from the squad selected for the Australia series. Washington Sundar, who took 11 wickets in the ongoing Test in Pune, has been included in the squad. Rituraj Gaikwad’s name was also being discussed for this tour, but he too has not been given the opportunity as he had already been named captain of the India A team that will tour Australia. Cheteshwar Pujara, who was out for a long time, also could not return to the team. Pujara had made important contributions with the bat in the last 2 tours of Australia.
India’s team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is as follows: Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (goalkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (goalkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj , Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.
