Axar, Kuldeep left out; 5 players included: Complete list of changes in India's squad for Australia Tests
It has almost become a ritual that whenever India have gone to Australia for a Test series, their backs are against the wall. Now, take that all into context and picture that India are desperate for World Test Championship points, facing Australia in Australia with a new-ish pace attack apart from Jasprit Bumrah, the stand-in captain for the opening Test match in Perth. Since it is Australia, there were bound to be changes in the squad, especially in the pace department with India calling up a couple of potential debutants in Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy. OUT: Axar Patel, who warmed the bench for all five Tests in the home season recently was left out with Washington Sundar making the spinning all-rounder position his own while Kuldeep Yadav, the other spinner in the squad was not considered after undergoing surgery for his chronic groin issue. India's squad for Australia Test series: Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar,
