India vs Australia T20 series: Full schedule, squads, match timing, when and where to watch and more
India, led by stand-in skipper Surya Kumar Yadav, will take on a formidable Australian side in a five-match T20 series, the first match of which will be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag from November 23. India captain Hardik Pandya has been out of action since the ODI World Cup when he suffered an ankle injury, which ruled the all-rounder out of the marquee event.
The T20 squad that takes on the Aussies from tomorrow is a far cry from the one India fielded in the World Cup, with the selectors opting to give fresh faces a chance. Meanwhile, Australia have also made a number of changes to their squad, resting some key players from their World Cup-winning side, including veteran opener David Warner and skipper Pat Cummins.
India squad: Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad (Vice-captain), Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (Wk), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar. Australia squad: Matthew Wade (Capt), Aaron Hardie, Jason Behrendorff, Sean Abbott, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa.
The T20 series, which starts on November 23, will be played at five venues - Vizag, Trivandrum, Guwahati, Nagpur and Hyderabad. Here's a list of the dates and venues for each match.
