Indian team for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 Test announced
The Indian team for the first Test match against Australia starting from 1 October has been announced. Left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh, who has been going through a prolonged patch of bad form, has been
dropped from the squad, while Cheteshwar Pujara has got his maiden call to the Test squad.
The first of two Test matches between India and Australia will be played at Mohali.
Pujara plays for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saurashtra-c839 in the Ranji trophy and has been in tremendous form in both the longer variety of the game and the fifty overs game in the first class cricket. Pujara averages 60 at the first
class level over a period of five seasons, while in the List A games, he has an average of 57. Pujara was also a part of the Indian Premier League in 2010.
Apart from Pujara, the other surprise was the exclusion of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and had
shown to be a hard-working bowler on those flat tracks. He is replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ishant-Sharma-c64566 and Zaheer Khan.
Both, Sreesanth and Zaheer Khan had missed the Test series in Sri Lanka due to injuries. Zaheer showed his return to fitness in the Champions League T20, when he bowled his overs for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gautam-Gambhir-c58623 also makes a comeback after a knee injury had forced him out of the second and the third Test match against Sri Lanka. In the first Test match, he had been dismissed by Lasith Malinga in the
first over of both innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 also have named Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and Pragyan Ojha as the three spinners for the side.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429 should open the innings with Gambhir and they should
be followed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, Suresh Raina and Dhoni in the batting order.
