India will take on Australia in a three-match T20I series at home starting on 23 September.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the upcoming series against Australia. The side will be led by Rohit Sharma while KL Rahul will be his deputy. Mohammed Shami who has been kept as a standby for the T20 World Cup 2022 is also a part of the squad that will take on Australia at home.
Pace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel have cleared the fitness test and will return to the national side, bolstering India’s death bowling that proved to be toothless at the recently concluded Asia Cup.
“Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be reporting to the NCA for conditioning-related work during the course of the home series against Australia and South Africa,” BCCI said in a statement.
The three-match T20I series begins on 20th September in Mohali. The second match will be held in Nagpur on 23rd September while the final encounter takes place on 25th September in Hyderabad.
