The BCCI had a long meeting before the team announced for the tour of Australia on Saturday, October 4. After this meeting, 26 -year -old young batsman Shubman Gill was handed over the captaincy of the ODI team. Please tell that Shubman Gill is also the captain of the Test team. Now in two formats, the captaincy of Team India has been handed over to Shubman Gill. Team India has been announced for the tour of Australia only after this meeting.
26 -year -old Shubman Gill has also been appointed as the captain of the ODI team. BCCI took this decision after the team selection meeting. After the Test, the captaincy has been taken away from Rohit Sharma from ODIs. However, Rohit Sharma and senior batsman Virat Kohli are part of Team India in the ODI series on Australia tour. Both have been included in the 15 -member team.
On October 19, Shubman Gill will play the first match in ODI as captain. The first ODI between India and Australia will be played on 19 October in Perth.
