The BCCI on Wednesday introduced the Indian squad for the third and fourth test in opposition to Australia.
The series is already locked at 1-1 after India pulled off an emphatic win at Bengaluru, beating the aussies via a margin of 75 runs.
Apart from the above inclusion, the committee has retained the identical 15-member squad that played within the first two tests.
Rohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami, who returned from damage will not be integrated in the squad.
Murali Vijay, who ignored the Bengaluru experiment with a sore shoulder, has been retained in the squad.
Karun Nair and Ajinkya Rahane would be the different two batting faces within the squad who might collectively get a sport in once more.
The spin twins Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja too are the primary choice spinners who've been in on a roll with the red leather-based.
Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav as soon as once more would be the two pacers for the hosts.
Both have bowled superbly in the first two games and there’s no cause why they can't lift on doing the identical.
Uncapped all-rounder Pandya, initially named in the squad for the first two tests, was now not to be had for resolution forward of the second test after identifying up a shoulder niggle.
The Australia series, will culminate with games to start with-time experiment venues Ranchi and Dharamsala.
