BCCI on Sunday, February 19 announced India’s squad for the upcoming 3-match ODI series against Australia. While Ravindra Jadeja will mark his return to white-ball cricket after shining in the Test series, Shikhar Dhawan has not been included.
Jaydev Unadkat has also been retained for the ODI squad, he has gotten an ODI call-up after a gap of nearly 10 years.
The last time the Saurashtra skipper represented India in an ODI match it was in Kochi against West Indies back in November 2013.
Another major absentee is Jasprit Bumrah who is still regaining full fitness and is not likely to be rushed back since there had already been a relapse in his back injury earlier.
The Indian side will be led by Rohit Sharma, however, the 34-year-old will miss the first ODI due to family commitments, thus Hardik Pandya will lead the squad in his absence.
