"Abhimanyu Easwaran, Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy Join India's Squad for Australia Test Series!"

India has announced its 18-man squad for the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia, starting on November 22 in Perth. Among the exciting new faces are Abhimanyu Easwaran, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Reddy, each making a strong case for themselves through stellar domestic and IPL performances.

Full India Squad

• Top Batsmen: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul

• Power Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah (Vice Captain), Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Harshit Rana

Easwaran, one of Bengal's finest batsmen, has earned his place after consistent high scores in the Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, and Irani Cup. Easwaran has scored a century in each of his last four first-class games, establishing him as a promising third-choice opener behind Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

India's Pace Attack
With Mohammed Shami still in recovery, India's fast-bowling lineup remains strong with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Akash Deep leading the charge. Akash, who has impressed in recent matches, retains his spot, while Prasidh Krishna returns after recovering from a stress fracture and delivering a stellar performance in the Duleep Trophy.

New Faces: Harshit Rana & Nitish Reddy
Delhi's Harshit Rana, who played a key role in his IPL team’s title win, has earned his Test call-up after proving himself in India’s white-ball teams. Andhra's Nitish Reddy, a versatile medium-pace all-rounder, is also moving up quickly, having made a strong impact in the IPL and his T20I debut.

The squad will also take along reserves: Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini, and Khaleel Ahmed to reinforce the pace lineup as needed.

Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav, dealing with a chronic groin injury, is focusing on recovery at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. All-rounder Axar Patel has also been left out this time, while Washington Sundar will take up a key role in India's spin attack.
