- Team India has to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025 from February 19. After that, a 3-match ODI series has to be played against Australia this year. Preparations will begin on what kind of 15-member squad will be there for this…
Team India visited Australia in December last year. Where a 5 match test series was played between the two teams. In this series, India had to face defeat by 1-3. On the other hand, the Indian team has to fly to Australia once again this year after the Champions Trophy, this time not a test but a 3-match ODI series will be played in which 4 big and senior players including captain Rohit Sharma selected for the Champions Trophy can be shown the way out. Let’s take a look at how the 15-member team is going to be against Australia.
Team India: Rishabh Pant can get the captaincy and Jaiswal can be the vice-captain!
Team India will play a three-match ODI series against Australia. This series will be played in October-November, as per the future tour plan. For that, India will have to go to Australia. However, the selectors can make many big changes on this tour. India had to face a crushing defeat in BGT, which criticized the selectors and the BCCI a lot.
In such a situation, Rohit Sharma, who has been a flop, can be given rest. In his absence, Rishabh Pant can be chosen as captain. He has captained India before and has extensive experience captaining in IPL. Yashasvi Jaiswal can be chosen as vice-captain.
These 4 players including Rohit Sharma may be out of the Champions Trophy
The Champions Trophy 2025 will start on February 19. India (Team India) will play its first match against Bangladesh on February 20. Rohit Sharma will captain this tournament. Senior batsmen Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, and KL Rahul have also been selected. However, if sources are to be believed, these players may be dropped from the ODI series against Australia after the tournament.
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, and Tilak Verma can get a chance. All these players are in great form and have performed brilliantly in white-ball cricket. In the T20 series against South Africa, Tilak Verma and Sanju Samson played explosive innings one after the other, in such a situation, both these players can overpower the Kangaroo team.
A probable 15-member squad of Team India for the ODI series against Australia: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal (vice-captain), Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Verma, Rishabh Pant (captain), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakraborty.
