The All-India Senior Selection Committee met via video-conference on Monday to select the Indian Cricket Team for the upcoming Tour of Australia. Team India will take part in three T20Is, three ODIs, and four Test matches against Australia in the next three months.

BCCI will continue to monitor the situation of both players. If they recover on time, then they could join the squad on a later date.
