If Virat is not available, Rahane will take charge obviously...

Wriddhiman Saha sidelined with hamstring tear, could be a doubt for Australia Tests

i?img=%2Fi%2Fcricket%2Fcricinfo%2F1238710_1296x729.jpg&w=920&h=518&scale=crop&cquality=80&location=origin&format=jpg

Wriddhiman Saha has torn a hamstring, forcing him to miss the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2020 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad against the Delhi Capitals in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. This is the second match in a row Saha has missed because of the injury, having sat out the Eliminator against the Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier.

David Warner, the Sunrisers captain, confirmed the injury at the toss prior to the Sunday evening game. However, it remains unclear how bad the injury is, as the BCCI has not made any comment on it so far.

The timing of the injury would be a concern for the Indian team management and the national selectors, because Saha has been named in the Indian Test squad for the four-match series in Australia, which is scheduled to begin on December 17 in Adelaide followed by fixtures in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Rishabh Pant is the other wicket keeping option in the long-format squad.

India have already had to leave out Rohit Sharma (hamstring injury) for the tour, even though he has continued to play for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL after a short layoff, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has a thigh injury. But Ishant Sharma, who had to miss most of the IPL with a muscle tear, is expected to be fit for the Tests in Australia. An earlier BCCI media statement had said that both Rohit and Ishant would be "monitored".

Saha had stretched his groin while batting against the Capitals in an earlier game at IPL 2020, but then played against the Mumbai Indians in the Sunrisers' final league game, where he played a lead role in a crucial win. He has had a good time with the bat on the few occasions he has played this season, scoring 30 in 31 balls from the middle order first up against the Kolkata Knight Riders but then blossoming when pushed to the top of the order as the team dropped Jonny Bairstow to accommodate Jason Holder. Saha's scores after that were 87 in 45 balls against the Capitals, 39 in 32 against the Royal Challengers and 58* in 45 against the Mumbai Indians.

Apart from Pant, the Test squad bound for Australia has KL Rahul, the chosen man behind the stumps in the shorter formats, in the set-up. Rahul is the only stumper in the ODI squad, while Sanju Samson is also in the mix in the T20I party.

Rohit Sharma not to join India squad in Australia until Test series

Rohit Sharma will not be part of the Indian contingent flying from Dubai to Sydney on Wednesday for the Australia tour. Sharma, who led the Mumbai Indians to their fifth IPL title on Tuesday, will instead return home to recover completely from the hamstring injury he suffered during the IPL.

The Indian selectors initially left Rohit out of all three squads for the Australia tour, which will be played between November 27 and January 19 and will comprise three ODIs, three T20Is and four Tests. This was because Rohit had suffered a hamstring tear in his left leg on October 18 while completing a run against Kings XI Punjab. He sat out Mumbai's next four matches before returning to play for their last league match followed by Qualifier 1 and the IPL final, in which he was the top-scorer.

On November 9, the eve of the IPL final, the BCCI said in a media release that Rohit would feature in the Test series, but was being rested for the limited-overs leg of the Australia tour to "regain full fitness". It is now expected that Rohit will undergo his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and, once he passes a fitness test, head to Australia ahead of the Test series, which begins in Adelaide on December 17.

Kohli unlikely to return to Australia post paternity leave

It is also understood that India captain Virat Kohli will not rejoin the Test squad in the New Year once he returns to India on paternity leave following the first Test. Kohli and his partner Anushka Sharma are expecting their first child around early January, so he requested the BCCI to release him after the Adelaide Test, which will the India's maiden overseas day-night Test and is scheduled from December 17 to 21.

According to the Australian government's travel guidelines imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a person entering the country has to undergo a 14-day quarantine. So the India team management has accepted that Kohli will not have enough time to be ready for the final two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which are scheduled in Sydney (January 7-11) and Brisbane (January 15-19).

Kohli, though, would be part of the Indian contingent, comprising all three squads along with their families, flying late on Wednesday on a charter flight organized by the BCCI to Sydney from Dubai. The Indian touring group will start the tour with a two-week quarantine, during which they are allowed to train subject to clearing the testing protocols put in place by Cricket Australia in coordination with the local government. It is understood the Indian party will start training from November 14 in Sydney.

Ahead of the Test series the Indians will play two warm-up matches, the second of them under lights, ahead of the pink-ball Test. The first warm-up game between India A and Australia A, scheduled to take place from December 6 to 8, clashes with the T20I series, so only the Test specialists, along with the some of the net bowlers, will take part. The entire Test squad, though, will be available for the second warm-up game against Australia A, scheduled from December 11 to 13.

Saha flying to Australia

Wriddhiman Saha, who injured the hamstrings in both his legs while playing an IPL match for Sunrisers Hyderabad, will be part of the touring group flying out on Wednesday. Saha is one of two wicketkeepers named by the selectors for the Test series along with Rishabh Pant.

It is understood that fast bowler Ishant Sharma will travel separately to Australia ahead of the Test series once he is declared completely fit by the NCA, where he is undegoing rehab after suffering an abdominal muscle tear during the IPL. Recently the NCA, which is headed by the former India captain Rahul Dravid, had communicated to the BCCI that Ishant would be ready to start bowling from November 18, after which he will need to prove his match fitness.
