Digital Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the team for the upcoming limited-overs series against New Zealand and the first two Test matches against Australia. Prithvi Shaw has been selected for the T20I squad against New Zealand, while Hardik Pandya has been named captain for the shortest format of the game.

Rohit Sharma will captain India in the Test series against Australia and the ODI series against New Zealand. The notable inclusion in the series against Australia is Ravindra Jadeja, whose participation is contingent on his fitness, while Shardul Thakur has been reinstated for the ODI series against New Zealand. This is a great opportunity for the Indian team to show off their skills and establish their value against two formidable opponents.

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is still recovering from an injury, has not been included in any of the squads. Bumrah's absence is a big setback for India, and his participation in the final two Test matches against Australia is doubtful. Due to personal commitments, KL Rahul and Axar Patel were not considered for the selection for the series against New Zealand.
