Harsha Bhogle reckons that Rohit Sharma might end up missing remainder of Dream11 IPL 2020 after having sustained an injury in ongoing tournament due to which he has been excluded from India's gruelling tour of Australia that is scheduled to get underway in late vember.

India will be playing three T20Is, same number of ODIs, and, four Test matches Down Under. 

'What a pity!'

Taking to micro-blogging site, 'Voice of Indian Cricket' reckoned that 'Hitman' might t be fit eugh to even play Tests in December which suggests that Mumbai skipper won't be part of IPL anymore. 

At same time, versatile cricket pundit also mentioned that limited-overs vice-captain's fitness is being monitored but with quarantine and travel restrictions, it seems unlikely. 

India's squ for upcoming series against Australia anunced

Ahe of two-month-long tour of Australia, BCCI on Monday anunced Team India squs for limited-overs and Test series. Punjab skipper KL Rahul has been named Vice-captain of side for limited-overs series. 

Architect-turned-cricketer Varun Chakravarthy, who has impressed as a spinner in ongoing IPL season, has earned his maiden T20 call-up. Or table inclusions in T20 team include Sanju Samson, Manish Pandey, Washington Sundar, and Deepak Chahar. ODI squ anunced is more or less similar to T20 squ with ditional inclusion of Shubman Gill in team. 

selectors have decided to go with Navdeep Saini, Mohamm Siraj, Umesh Yav, Mohamm Shami as team's pace battery in Tests. Ajinkya Rahane will assume his role as vice-captain for Tests while Wriddhiman Saha will don wicketkeeping duties. Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw are slated to be openers for side touring Australia. 

However, young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant has t mand to find a place in limited-overs series as Sanju Samson and KL Rahul will be donning gloves in T20I and ODI series. Even though Delhi stumper has been included in Test squ, it seems that he might be in reserves as veteran Wriddhiman Saha might be first choice wicket-keeper in longest format.
