Only a few hours are left for the start of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 to be played between India and Australia. Both the teams will face each other in the first Test match in Perth on 22 November. The first two matches are going to be very challenging for the Indian team in the absence of Rohit Sharma. He has withdrawn his name due to personal reasons. Meanwhile, news is coming that after Rohit Sharma’s return, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan may get a place in the team for the last Test match.
Ishaan-Shreyas will enter the team
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir is going to be tested in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He would like to erase the stain of the embarrassing defeat in the New Zealand Test series by winning the IND vs AUS Test series. However, in the meantime, a big update is coming out about the team. Actually, Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first two matches. He has asked for a break from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to spend time with his family. At the same time, now there is news that after his return, many changes can be seen in the team.
This dangerous player will also return
If media reports are to be believed, dreaded Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami may enter Team India for the last three matches of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He had to stay away from cricket for a year due to an ankle injury in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. But now he has made a comeback through Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Since then, news is coming that he will reach Australia before the third match with captain Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, it is expected that Indian young batsmen Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer can also be included in the team.
Made a splash in domestic cricket
It has been almost a year since Ishan Kishan has been away from Team India. He was last seen in the Indian jersey last year. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer has not got a place in the team since August 2024. After being constantly ignored by the Indian selectors, both these batsmen turned to domestic cricket and attracted everyone’s attention with their batting. Shreyas Iyer staked a claim for a comeback by scoring 233 runs in the match played between Mumbai and Odisha.
