India Vs Australia squad: KL Rahul Named Vice-Captain for Limited-over Squads; Rohit Sharma, Ishant Sharma Miss Out

India Vs Australia squad: KL Rahul returned to the Indian Test squad for the tour of Australia starting late next month and was also named the vice-captain for the ODI and T20I teams in the absence of injured Rohit Sharma as the national selectors announced the squads late on Monday night.

The committee met via video-conference to select teams and decided to hand a maiden call-up to spinner Varun Chakravarthy in the T20I squad. Rohit and Ishant Sharma have not been named in any squads and a BCCI release stated that the medical team will continue to monitor their progress.

Rohit had picked up a hamstring injury last week and has missed two Mumbai Indians game while Ishant Sharma was ruled out of the tournament with an abdominal muscle tear.

Pacer Mohammed Siraj is the fifth speedster in the Test squad.

There weren't any surprises save for Chakravarthy's inclusion in the T20 squad after his stellar show for KKR in the current IPL. He has already picked up a five-for and has a total of 12 scalps to his credit this season so far. The tour of Australia comprises three T20 Internationals, as many ODIs and four Tests. It is set to get underway from November 27.
