Cricket Australia have released the full schedule of India’s tour of Australia, starting on November 27, which will see the Indian cricket team take on the Aussies in all three formats.

Team India is set to play three T20 Internationals, three One Day Internationals and four Test matches in their tour Down Under. India, led by captain Virat Kohli, will kick off the campaign with the 50-over format at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and then move to the Manuka Oval in Canberra.

Rohit Sharma’s injury, which has forced him to take a hiatus from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, has also kept him out of the Indian cricket team. In his absence, KL Rahul will take on the responsibility of vice-captaincy in the white-ball formats.

Shubman Gill has also found a spot in the ODI team along with pacer Navdeep Saini.

India ODI squad for Australia tour: Virat Kohli (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul (vice-captain and wicket-keeper), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Mayank Agarwal, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.
