LIVE IND vs AUS ODI Series 2023: Shreyas Iyer Set To Make Comeback
“Shreyas was not available for this game because certain parameters were kept for him to tick off. I think today he completed most of it. I should say he is alright 99 per cent as of now. But he looks good, he batted and fielded for long hours, and he was on the ground long before we came to the ground. I don’t think it is a worry for us," Rohit Said

“When R Ashwin is there, who needs Tilak Varma in the playing XI. I know he can bowl, but keeping Ashwin is more important because he is a match-winner and has more experience. If India are looking to play three spinners in the Playing XI against Australia and the ICC World Cup 2023, I would want Ashwin in the team."

The BCCI senior selection committee selectors are set to meet on Monday to pick the Indian players for the India vs Australia three-match ODI series against Australia, which will get under way in Mohali on Friday.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of team announcement for the Indian cricket team for three-match ODI series against Australia beginning on Friday (September 22).
National Cricket Selectors have made significant changes to the Indian cricket squad for the upcoming ODI series against Australia. In a strategic move, captain Rohit Sharma, senior batsman Virat Kohli, and all-rounder Hardik Pandya have been rested for the first two ODIs to ensure their physical and mental well-being before the ODI World Cup. KL Rahul has been named captain in their absence. The selectors have introduced off-spinner R Ashwin and spinner Washington Sundar into the squad, possibly as a contingency plan in case Axar Patel, who is recovering from an injury, is unable to participate. The inclusion of Ashwin hints at a potential World Cup role if Axar doesn't recover in time.
The first two ODIs will see newcomers Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Washington Sundar in action, while the experienced trio of Rohit, Virat, and Hardik will return for the third ODI. The selectors will assess Axar Patel's fitness closer to the third match.
