After the heartbreaking exit in Asia Cup 2022, Rohit Sharma and his men gear up to take on Australia and South Africa at home, and the BCCI on Monday announced India's T20I squad for the respective series. BCCI also announced India's squad for the upcoming T20I World Cup as well, with Avesh Khan, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan among the notable absentees.
The squad is on similar lines to that of the World Cup roster, with Arshdeep Singh rested for the three T20Is against Australia, which begin from September 20.
Elsewhere, Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been rested for the three T20Is against South Africa. Mohammed Shami has been included in both squads, which was a huge topic of debate after India's acrimonious exit from the Asia Cup 2022.
