The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced the 13-man squad for the fourth Test match against Australia that will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) starting Thursday.

 

Though Ravichandran Ashwin was included in the list, his availability will be taken into consideration only on the morning of the Test. Reportedly, Ashwin suffered an abdominal strain on the fourth day of the first Test at Adelaide and has still not completely recovered.

 

Surprisingly, Ishant Sharma was opted out for the final Test and was replaced with fast bowler Umesh Yadav. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja were also listed.

 

India's 13-man squad:

 

Virat Kohli (C), A Rahane (VC), KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, C Pujara, H Vihari, R Pant, R Jadeja, K Yadav, R Ashwin, M Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav
