India made the return of Suryakumar and Jadeja for T20Is in the squad for the Australian Tests, and India’s choice for the first two Tests against Australia in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
Australia is gearing up for a possible date with white-ball sensation Suryakumar Yadav after he was picked in India’s 17-man squad for the first two matches of the eagerly-awaited four-match series next month.

Another limited-overs player Ishan Kishan has also been brought into the squad but there is no place for injured pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is not guaranteed to be fit for the final two games of the series.
The Border-Gavaskar series, starting February 9, will also see the return of India’s valuable spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, provided he is fit again from his injury.
Rohit Sharma will lead a potent side, Virat Kohli will also lead one, although the Indian board has only named the squad for the first part of the series and the selectors will doubtless re-evaluate after the opening two games in Nagpur and Delhi.
The question remains whether the 32-year-old late bloomer Suryakumar, despite his flashy T20 fireworks, will be able to make it into the starting XI.
Such a formidable top order that even without an injured Rishabh Pant, Sharma, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Kohli and Shreyas Iyer can be proud of.
Mohammed Shami will lead India’s attack, supported by Mohammed Siraj, who made a name for himself on the 2020-21 Australia tour, with the evergreen 36-year-old Ravichandran Ashwin assisting lead spinners, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.
