Both Chahal and Umran have been named in India's squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. They are currently training for the series at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. The first ODI is scheduled to be played on March 17 in Mumbai, followed by two more games on March 19 and 22 in Vizag and Mumbai, respectively.
