The Indian team has been announced for the tour of Australia.

On Saturday, October 4, the Main Selection Committee of the Board of Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the team for the tour of Australia. Most of the eyes in this were on the ODI squad because everyone was waiting for the selection of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But 7 months ago, the decision to remove the captain Rohit, who won the Champions Trophy, was a little surprising to hand over the command to Shubman Gill. Rohit's future was under question, but it was expected that the captain who made the champion a few months ago will not be removed from the captaincy from the next series.

Shami also out of ODI after Test

But this happened and after taking captaincy from Rohit, Shubman Gill was given this responsibility for the first time. Rohit, however, is part of the team in the 3 -match ODI series starting from October 19. On the other hand, senior fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who played a big role in Team India's victory in the Champions Trophy, was not chosen. In the Champions Trophy played in February-March, team Shami took the team to the final by taking 3 wickets in the semi-finals. He was India's most successful bowler with 9 wickets in the tournament. But now there is no place in the team for them.

Not in ODI but remains in T20

Not only Shami, but also spinner Varun Chakraborty could not make his place in this squad. Mystery spinner Varun also took 9 wickets as Shami in the Champions Trophy and was a big reason for the Indian team's success. Varun took 2-2 wickets in the semi-finals and finals with economical bowling. Despite this performance, it was shocking not to select him for the tour of Australia.

This reason was told not to choose Jadeja

At the same time, a big decision was also to drop Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja was also part of Team India in the Champions Trophy. However, this tournament was not very special for him and he could not take only 5 wickets in the tournament, while even in the batting he could not do anything special and could only score 50 runs. Despite this, he had recently submitted a claim with his strong batting in the Test format against England and now the West Indies. However, Agarkar definitely told the reason for not being elected and said that there was no need for much spinners in Australia and in such a time it was unnecessary to keep 3 left -arm spinners (Kuldeep Yadav and Akshar Patel) at the same time. Agarkar made it clear that Jadeja is part of the plan in ODI cricket.
