TIL Desk Sports/ Captain Virat Kohli and premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, were both called back into a full-strength Indian squad, while Dinesh Karthik was left out of the five-match ODI series against Australia, starting in Visakhapatnam, on February 24.
Kohli was rested for the last two ODIs and three-match T20I series in New Zealand, while Bumrah was given a long break following the four-Test series in Australia as he missed both the limited overs series in Australia and New Zealand. The five-match series at home against Australia will be India’s last ODI series ahead of the 2019 World Cup, starting in May, which will be held after the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League.
Karthik along with Ravindra Jadeja, Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj were left out of the team from the last series in New Zealand as India went back to a full-strength squad to prepare for the World Cup. KL Rahul, who was suspended for five matches last month for inappropriate comments on TV show, got back among the runs in the four-day games against the England Lions with scores of 89 and 81, comes into the team as the reserve opener.
