The Border Gavaskar Trophy is now drawing closer and India is waiting for the return of its players who are out due to injury that they will feed only as many main players as they are fit.
At present, Australia’s most dangerous team is coming to play a Test series in India, in which players like captain Pat Cummins, vice-captain Steve Smith, David Warner Josh, Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Travels Head and Peter Handscomb are included in this team, which is on Indian soil. He is also used to playing and he also likes the pitch of India. In such a situation, India should also think that it should also choose its best team which is ready to give its best against Australia. Australia team’s leading fast bowler Mitchell Starc will not be able to play the first Test match due to some personal work. The same speculations are being made that even David Warner will not be able to play the first Test match.
