India has announced its squads for the remaining two Border-Gavaskar Trophy Tests against Australia as well as the upcoming three-match ODI series. Rohit Sharma will continue to lead the team in the Test series, with regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return to the side after missing the second Test due to the birth of his child.

The squad for the last two Tests features several changes, with Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, and fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat included in the squad. The team management has also included young wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan, who had a successful debut in the recent T20 series against England.

In the ODI squad, Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the captain, with Hardik Pandya serving as his deputy. Kohli will be a part of the squad, along with other regulars like Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, and Kuldeep Yadav. The team management has also included promising youngsters like Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan.

Rohit Sharma will miss the first ODI due to personal reasons, and Hardik Pandya will lead the side in his absence. This will be a great opportunity for Pandya to showcase his leadership skills, as he has been a vital member of the Indian limited-overs squad in recent years.

The inclusion of several young players in both squads shows India's intent to build a strong and well-rounded team for the future. The team management has been experimenting with different combinations, giving chances to new players, and this has paid off well in recent times.

India has a 2-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and the remaining two Tests will be crucial for both sides. The ODI series will also be an opportunity for India to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year. With a talented squad at their disposal, India will be looking to continue their winning run in the upcoming matches.
