KL Rahul has been named in India's Test squad for the forthcoming four-Test Border-Gavaskar series against Australia at the end of the year. Rahul is joined by fellow Test returnee Kuldeep Yadav while seamer Mohammed Siraj gets a call-up in an 18-member Test squad.
India is going with full packed pace attack in Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah along with Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj. BCCI has also announced that 4 additional bowlers - Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Kartik Tyagi, Ishan Porel, and T. Natarajan - will travel with the Indian contingent.
Test Squad: Virat Kohli (C), Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (VC), Hanuma Vihari, Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Mohd. Siraj.
Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who limped out of IPL 2020 with a leg injury, will not be part of the traveling contingent to Australia. The swing bowler, who has been beset by injury problems since the start of 2018, had been named in the 50-over squad for the series against South Africa which was eventually called off due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw have been axed from the ODI squad after their poor run in the ongoing IPL. They have also been removed from the T20I squad as well. KL Rahul will be Virat Kohli's deputy in ODIs and T2OIs.

He replaces Kuldeep Yadav as the fourth spinner in the 16-man squad.
Rohit Sharma's absence has also given Mayank Agarwal a spot in the shortest format for the very first time. The 29-year-old opener has lit up the IPL this season scoring almost 400 runs in the 10 games he has played so far with a hundred. Hardik Pandya also returns for the limited-overs series.
