IND vs AUS ODI Squad: Jasprit Bumrah Injury – Before IPL 2023, two injured Indian stars could make a comeback in the ODI series. Jasprit Bumrah who is ruled out of the Test series against Australia is still recovering. But Sanju Samson has recovered from his knee injury. Although he is not part of the NewZealand series, he will be in the fray for a comeback in the Australia ODI series with Rishabh Pant out with torn ligament.

“Sanju has returned to the NCA for injury assessment. From what I heard, he is at 100% and is available for selection. As for Bumrah, it will take another month or so. We expect him to be fit before the ODI series against Australia. But it will depend on his progress. At present, he is not fit,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport on Saturday.

“Jasprit needs to be at 100% for the Australia series. But he is still a month away, I fear. Back injuries take time and rehab is a lengthy process. At this moment, he is unfit for selection and how long it will take for him to return is still doubtful. At no point, he will be rushed back,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport.
Shreyas Iyer Injury – Another injured star Shreyas Iyer is also racing against time to be fit for Australia series. He is on the squad for the first two Tests against Australia. However, he is still at the NCA, recovering from his back injury. Selectors have asked for a report on Shreyas and they will take a call on the replacement this week.
“We will know in a day or two about Shreyas. His recovery is going well. But whether he will be available for the first two Tests is still not clear. Nitin will submit injury assessment report next week and we will know then,” the official said.
