Australia has suffered a big blow, just 2 days before the start of the ODI series against India, all-rounder Cameron Green has been ruled out of the entire series due to injury. In his place, Marnus Labuschagne has been included in the squad for the ODI series.

Cameron Green out due to injury

Cameron Green has been ruled out of the ODI series against India due to muscle stiffness. The main reason for this is that the Australian selectors do not want to take any risk before the famous Ashes series starting next month. Cricket Australia said in a statement, “Cameron Green will complete some rehabilitation. After this he will try to play in the third round of Sheffield Shield in preparation for the Ashes series.”

Marnus Labuschagne got the place

Marnus Labuschagne has been included in the ODI squad in place of Cameron Green, who scored 159 runs in the Sheffield Shield match for Queensland on Thursday. This was Labuschagne’s fourth century in the domestic season.

31-year-old Labuschagne has played 66 international ODI matches, in which he has scored 1871 runs at an average of 34.64 and strike rate of 83.56. He has played 15 ODI matches against India, in which he has scored 474 runs in 13 innings. This includes 4 half-century innings. Labuschagne played an important inning of 58 runs in the final of the 2023 World Cup against India.

The Indian cricket team has reached Australia for the ODI series, the first match will be played in Perth on 19 October. Earlier, a video of Australian players is going viral on social media, in which they are making fun of the decision of Indian players not to shake hands with Pakistani players. During Asia Cup 2025, Suryakumar Yadav and team had decided that they will play the match against Pakistan but will not shake hands with them, although this was only for Pakistan and Indian players also shook hands with the players of other teams and also met them.

This decision of Team India was related to the sentiments of the players, because they did not want to join hands with the players of the country whose players are spreading terrorism in India. This was also against the Pahalgam attack. But Australian players made fun of it and also shared its video. Let us tell you that India will play a total of 8 matches on the Australia tour. After 3 ODIs, a 5-match T20 series will be played.

Australian players made fun!

This video was shared from the social media page of Kayo Sports. In this, the anchor says, “We all know that India is heading towards victory, but we identified a big weakness. We know that they are not fans of the traditional meeting (gesturing to shake hands), so we can stop them like this in advance.” Australian players reacted to this and made a video.

The second Test between India and West Indies is to be played in Delhi from October 10. Before that, Indian captain Shubman Gill has talked about the importance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the ODI team. Gill said that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have given huge victories to the Indian team and the team needs them. He also praised the leadership of Rohit Sharma.

Let us tell you that Shubman Gill has also become the captain of the Indian ODI team. He will captain Team India in the 3-match ODI series against Australia from 19-25 October.

Shubman Gill spoke on Rohit-Virat

Shubman Gill said, “Rohit Bhai’s calm nature and the way he creates an atmosphere of friendship within the team, I also want to do the same. It will be a big challenge for me to live up to my own expectations. I want to win the ICC Trophy by playing in all formats.”

On the ODI future of Rohit Sharma and Virar Kohli, Shubman Gill said, “Both have won a lot of matches for the Indian team. Very few players have such talent and experience. We need both of them.”

India is ahead 1-0 in the test series

The Indian team had defeated West Indies by a margin of innings and 140 runs in the first Test played in Ahmedabad. In that match, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja scored centuries in the same innings for India. Now the second test will be played in Delhi from tomorrow i.e. 10th October. Before the second Test, head coach Gautam Gambhir hosted a dinner party at his home in Delhi, in which Team India and BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla also attended.

Shubman gill forcefully appointed odi captain: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a big step before Team India’s Australia tour. The BCCI snatched the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and made Shubman Gill the new captain of the ODI team. Rohit Sharma is part of the 3 -match ODI series against Australia. Virat Kohli is also going on a tour of Australia with Rohit, but now these players will be seen playing under the captaincy of Shubman Gill in this series. Many veteran players are angry with this decision of BCCI.

Capital imposed on Shubman Gill

The veteran player of the Indian cricket team Mohammad Kaif has completely surrounded the BCCI. Kaif believes that Shubman Gill has been forced to captain the ODI team. Pressure has been made on Gill to take ODI captaincy. Kaif says that giving this big responsibility to Shubman Gill at such a young age can lead to negative impact on his performance.

Why did BCCI decide Gill’s captaincy?

Team India Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had also given the reason behind this decision after handing over the captaincy of ODI to Shubman Gill. Agarkar had said that whether Rohit will play 2027 ODI World Cup or not, there is no confirmed about this. At the same time, Team India has to play less in the ODI match in the next two years, then the team will not get much matches before the World Cup. For this reason, Shubman Gill has been made the captain, so that he can be fully prepared to take decisions.

The Indian team reached the final of the 2023 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. At the same time, Team India finally lost to Australia, who reached the final without any defeat in the entire tournament. After this, India won the 2024 T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and after that also captured the Champions Trophy 2025. But now before the next World Cup, Shubman Gill has been made the captain of the ODI team in place of Rohit Sharma.
