India's probable squad for away three-match ODI series vs Australia revealed
India are expected to reveal their 15-member squad for the away three-match ODI series against Australia down under as some of the notable members of the side, including Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah, are likely to get rested.
India will start their preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia through the three-match ODI series against Australia down under from October 19, as the opening clash will take place at the Optus Stadium in Perth. It will be the return of the two veterans- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have retired from both T20Is and Tests.
Rohit Sharma, who won the Champions Trophy 2025 beating New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, is likely to lead the side, while Yashasvi Jaiswal could get his first smooth chance at the opening position in the probable absence of Shubman Gill, who is expected to get a break ahead of a long home season.

Virat Kohli will be back at his number three position, including the familiar faces of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. Sanju Samson is anticipated to be the spare wicket-keeper batter in the eleven, while Nitish Kumar Reddy could get his maiden chance in the team as the 50-over all-rounder.

Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja will be the two spin all-rounders of the eleven. But in Australia, one of them is expected to be part of the eleven and in all means, the latter is ahead in the individual race. Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav will be the two premier spinners in the squad, as one of them is likely to get the chance in the eleven.
Hardik Pandya, who got injured and was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2025 final, won’t feature in the Australia series, for which Reddy is likely to get an opportunity. Jasprit Bumrah, the premier pacer, is likely to miss the series with a probable rest from the series ahead of the home season.
On the other hand, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, and Arshdeep Singh will be the other fast bowlers of the squad. The left-arm pacer will be the leader of the attack, thanks to his swinging skills.
