Kohli, Pant, Bumrah and Rahul back for Australia ODIs

Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul will be back playing for India when they take on Australia in a series of two T20Is and five ODIs starting February 24.

While the three of them will be available for all the seven matches, frontline fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been picked only for the final three ODIs, which round off Australia's tour. Similarly, left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav is not part of the T20I squad, with Mayank Markande, the legspinner who made a name playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL last year, taking his place.

Rishabh Pant's stocks have risen after excellent performances for India A in 2018 and Test centuries in England and Australia. The 20-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has played only three ODIs and 13 T20Is but has found a place in all three squads announced on Friday as a back-up wicketkeeping option to MS Dhoni, though he could be chosen as a specialist batsman too.

While announcing the squads, chairman of selectors MSK Prasad made the point that Pant's left-handedness would be useful for India in the middle order; Prasad has previously spoken about the youngster's composure and fearlessnessbeing assets that can't be ignored.

That meant the other gloveman in the mix, Dinesh Karthik, has been left out of these ODIs against Australia - the last that India play before the World Cup.

However, Prasad insisted that it isn't the end of the road for Karthik. "Prior to this, we had series in New Zealand and Australia, where Karthik was chosen, because Rishabh played four Test matches," he said. "So we wanted him (Pant) to get a good break, so he had a 20 days' break, and he played a couple of one-day matches against England Lions, in which he did extremely well. Then we sent him to the T20 matches (in New Zealand). So we want to give him a few ODIs also before taking a final call."

On the fast-bowling front, Bumrah is back after a month-long rest since helping India win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia earlier this year. India have also gone in without the left-arm variation provided by Khaleel Ahmed with Siddarth Kaul taking his place. Prasad explained this decision by saying they had seen what Khaleel could do in New Zealand and now want to give Kaul a chance to showcase his abilities as well.

Another inexperienced player carving out a spot for himself with a big season ahead is Vijay Shankar. Since being picked for India midway through their ODI series in Australia, he has batted at No. 3 in T20Is and produced a back-to-the-wall 43 that helped the team recover from 18 for 4 in seaming conditions in Hamilton. It is likely, though, that he will play second-fiddle to Hardik Pandya, who is also available for every match of the series.

"Vijay Shankar's performance in the recent series really changed a bit of the dynamics," Prasad said. "And he brings in that double impact to the side, which is good enough. That's why we have included him and we'll see how he performs in the next few matches."

All three squads were picked at a meeting that Kohli also attended.

Starc ruled out of India tour, Kane Richardson recalled

Mitchell Starc has been ruled out of the tour of India due to a pectoral muscle injury with Kane Richardson, the leading wicket-taker in the BBL, earning a recall for the trip which includes two T20Is and five ODIs. Shaun Marsh will miss the start of the tour and his brother Mitchell has been dropped altogether.

Ashton Turner, the Western Australia and Perth Scorchers batsman, has been called up after briefly providing cover to the squad during the home series against India. D'Arcy Short has also been recalled to the ODI set-up as cover for Shaun Marsh who will join the tour after the birth of his second child and recovery from a hamstring injury picked up during the BBL, while Nathan Coulter-Nile returns.

Peter Siddle, Mitchell Marsh and Billy Stanlake have been dropped from those who were in the squad to face India last month. In the absence of Josh Hazlewood, who is recovering from the back stress fracture which ruled him out of the Sri Lanka Tests, Pat Cummins has been named joint vice-captain with Alex Carey after holding the same role against Sri Lanka.

 

"Unfortunately, scans have revealed that Mitchell Starc sustained a substantial tear to his left pec muscle while bowling on the final day of the Test match in Canberra," national selector Trevor Hohns said. "This means he will be unavailable for the tour of India, but we will instead target a return to play for the ODI series against Pakistan in the UAE in March.

"Kane has been in outstanding form over the summer, including his recent performances in the BBL. Kane not only has experience playing ODI cricket for Australia, but he's also performed well for his country when given the opportunity.

"Nathan Coulter-Nile provides us with another quality bowling option, he brings good energy in the field and can also score runs in high-pressure situations."

Mitchell Marsh's omission continues a bleak season for the allrounder who also lost his Test place after the series against India. It now appears a long shot that he will make either the World Cup or the Ashes tour later this year. Siddle's omission probably puts paid to his unexpected World Cup ambitions although could work in his favour ahead of the Ashes with the potential for a longer spell with Essex.

"Peter Siddle and Mitch Marsh are unfortunate to miss out, but our message throughout the summer remains true, with such a big schedule ahead opportunities may well present themselves," Hohns said.

Turner's call-up comes after an impressive BBL where he has enjoyed success in the middle order with 378 runs at 34.36 and a strike-rate of 133.09. Last month he was called into the ODI squad against India when Mitchell Marsh was ill.

 

"Ashton has been on our radar for some time, given his performances in the shorter formats," Hohns said. "Ashton is a smart cricketer who reads the game well and provides us with another strong batting option. He's been in good form over the summer, and he has an opportunity to put his case forward ahead of the World Cup."

Shaun Marsh, who has been Australia's in-form one-day batsman over the last nine months with four centuries, is expected to be available from the third ODI and his absence provides Short a chance to stake a late World Cup bid following a prolific BBL. Carey opened against India recently but without much success, although David Warner is set to return for the World Cup.

There had been a suggestion that Usman Khawaja and Nathan Lyon - who were recalled for the home India series - may miss the tour to allow them the chance to play Sheffield Shield with the Dukes ball ahead of the Ashes, but both are included which shows they are central to the World Cup planning.
