Mumbai: The Indian squad for the ODI series against Australia, which will be held immediately before the World Cup after the Asia Cup, will be announced this week. Most of the players from the Asia Cup squad and the 15-member squad announced for the World Cup are expected to be in the Indian squad for the ODI series against Australia.
At the same time, in the event of injury to Shreyas Iyer in the World Cup and Asia Cup teams, the fans are waiting to see if the Malayalee player Sanju Samson or the young player Thilak Verma in the Asia Cup team will be considered in the team for the series against Aussies. Shreyas today trained with the Indian team ahead of the final Super Four match against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup, but the Indian team management is worried about his frequent injuries.
Suryakumar Yadav is in the Asia Cup team and the World Cup team as a back-up even if Shreyas is unable to play. With KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan playing together in the playing eleven, it is believed that Shreyas’ absence will not affect India.

Meanwhile, with Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul securing the wicketkeeper position as well as a place in the playing eleven, it is suggested that Sanju’s chances of making it to the squad are slim. If Shreyas is rested, Tilak Varma is more likely to be a left-handed batsman in the middle order. Tilak Verma is in the Asia Cup squad. With the return of KL Rahul, Sanju, who was the traveling stand-by in the Asia Cup team, was sent back. Sanju is currently vacationing in UAE.
BCCI sources indicate that the selectors may not be mature enough to make changes in the world team or give rest to senior players at the threshold of the World Cup. Although the series against Australia is seen as the last opportunity for experiments before the World Cup, there is little chance of changes in the set team. The three-match ODI series against Australia will begin on the 22nd of this month. There are three matches in the series.
