The national selectors announced India’s Test, ODI and T20I squads for the tour of Australia. While Rohit Sharma is missing from the squads, KL Rahul has been named vice-captain.
In Rohit’s absence, Mayank Agarwal has been included in ODI and the T20I squads.
Even Rishabh Pant has been axed from the shorter formats keeping in mind his poor record in the last few international series. The left-handed batsman has not been at his best in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League in the UAE.
Team India will play three ODIs against Australia.
