India vs Australia ODI Series: The Indian Squad for Home Series

India has announced their team for home series. For upcoming series with Australia, BCCI selection board members have taken away some of old and experienced players such as Virender Sehwag, Munaf Patel, Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma and announced a fifteen-member squad team.

Speaking to reporters BCCI chief Sharad Pawar said, “We should give opportunity to young players…in the presence of old, experienced players, new generation should be prepared.”

There was immediate good news for Harbhajan Singh, but Virender Sehwag need not despair just yet. Although the selectors did not find place for Sehwag in the squad for the first three one-dayers against Australia, you can be sure he will figure at some point in the 12 ODIs India play at home over the next couple of months. With the quantum of cricket India have ahead of them, the selectors will rotate Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly. cricinfo
