Aus Vs Ind Pacer T Natarajan to replace injured Umesh Yadav in India Test Squad

India has made major changes in the team for the third Test match against Australia. On Friday, BCCI tweeted that fast bowler T Natarajan has been included in the team in place of injured Umesh Yadav. Natarajan was part of the team in Australia as a net bowler, who impressed everyone by performing brilliantly in the T20 series against Australia.

Significantly, on the third day of the second Test match played in Melbourne, Umesh Yadav had a left leg muscle. After this he has been scanned which found that he is unlikely to recover immediately and he will not be able to play the next two matches.

After this, the National Selection Committee decided that Tamil Nadu fast bowler T Natarajan will be included in the team in place of Yadav. Earlier, before the Boxing Day Test, Shardul Thakur was included in the squad in place of Mohammed Shami. Both Umesh and Shami will now undergo rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma has joined the team after completing his 14-day separation and is almost certain to take the field for the third Test to be held in Sydney. He has been named the vice-captain of the team by the BCCI. Whereas before this, Pujara was given this responsibility in the absence of Melbourne Test.

Team India:
Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Hanuma Vihari, Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicket keeper), Jaspreet Bumrah, Navdeep Saini. , Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, R.
