Indian Team Announced for Australian Series 2009!

Australia is touring India this October and November to play 7 ODI matches. The Indian team was announced today with the shocking removal of Dravid.

As expected RP Singh and Yousuf Pathan have been removed. The shocking news was the removal of Dravid instead of Kholi. Also, Ishanth Sharma's stay in the team is questioned! With his poor form, he should have been given rest which would have helped him to come back stronger.

Sudeep Tyagi, is the new face in the team. He really performed well and impressed selectors in the Irani and Challenger trophies.

Munaf Patel has once again come back and found his place. Could be the last chance for him as he's also not a consistent member of the team.

The squad has 5 fast bowlers, 2 specialist spinners, and 5 part-time spinners including Sachin and Ravindra Jadeja.

India squad: MS Dhoni (captain and wicket-keeper), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra, Munaf Patel, Sudeep Tyagi, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra.
