India T20, ODI, Test Squad, Tour of Australia Player List: The Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) announced the test squads, ODI and T20I for the Australia India tour on Monday after the All India Senior Selection Committee met via video conference on the same day.
India will tour Australia in a biosecurity bubble in November, where they will participate in four test matches, three ODI and three T20I after the conclusion of the ongoing IPL 2020 campaign.
Rohit Sharma, who is currently injured by the Mumbai Indians, has not been named to any of the three teams. The selection committee, led by former India player Sunil Joshi, did not name him on the teams because protocol prevents them from including any injured player at the time of selection.

KL Rahul, who was removed from the test team after the 2019 series in the West Indies, has returned to the test team, while Hardik Pandya, who has not played for India since last September, will participate in the white ball formats.
