India ODI Squad for IND vs AUS Series
In ODIs, India have a change in captaincy. After reaching the ICC World Cup Final and winning the Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma has made way for Shubman Gill, the young gun. Gill will lead Team India in the ODIs for the first time after a successful tour of England. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma both returned to the ODIs. However, selectors did not trust Ravindra Jadeja with ODIs after his poor run of form. Dhruv Jurel and Nitish Kumar Reddy got maiden ODI call-ups. Jasprit Bumrah was rested from ODIs, while Hardik Pandya missed out due to an injury he sustained in Asia Cup. Shreyas Iyer is the new vice-captain of the ODIs.
In T20Is, Suryakumar Yadav will lead the T20I squad, with Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy returning to the T20Is. The squad is similar to the Asia Cup as India continue to prepare for T20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah will be back in T20Is after missing the ODI series due to workload management.
