India vs Australia 2017: BCCI announces unchanged squad for first two Tests against Steve Smith & Co

Mohammad Shami and Amit Mishra, two players who were likely to make a comeback, were not a part of the squad as they seem not to be fully fit.

New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced India's 15-man squad for upcoming four-match Test series against Australia.

The All-India Senior Selection Committee, led by former Indian wicketkeeper MSK Prasad, met earlier today to pick the team for the first two Test matches of the upcoming series against Australia.

There weren't any changes from the squad which played a one-off Test against Bangladesh at Hyderabad.

The Indian board confirmed the squad on Twitter:

Indian squad: Virat Kohli (c), Murali Vijay, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Karun Nair, Jayant Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Abhinav Mukund & Hardik Pandya 

Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who replaced injured leg-spinner Amit Mishra, was retained in the squad. So was Abhinav Mukund, the left-hander from Chennai.
