India T20I, ODI Squads For Australia Tour 2025 Announcement Live Updates:<\/strong> In what will be the dawn of a new era in ODI cricket for India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) national selectors have decided to name Shubman Gill as the India ODI captain for the limited overs tour of Australia. The BCCI announced the development in a press release right after India had won the first Test against West Indies, confirming a report from The Indian Express’ Devendra Pandey<\/a>. Gill’s elevation means that Rohit Sharma will not lead the team. <\/p><\/ev-engagement><\/ev-engagement>

Pandey had also reported that Rohit and the other stalwart, Virat Kohli<\/a>, are still in the side to tour Australia.<\/p>\n

Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selectors, addressed the media shortly after the IND vs WI Test ended at Narendra Modi<\/a> Stadium, where he explained why the selectors had elevated Shubman over Rohit, despite the latter leading India to the Champions Trophy title the last time the Men in Blue played an ODI.

This will mean that despite not being the captain, a highly-anticipated comeback will be on the cards for Rohit Sharma<\/a> — and Virat Kohli too — for the first time in nearly eight months since the victorious Champions Trophy campaign. <\/p>\n

Here are the Indian sides for the tour of Australia<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
