India has ended the Border-Gavaskar test Series with a fourth consecutive win by 2-1 against Australia this time. India won the series by winning the first two matches of the series, followed by a loss in the third match and a draw in the fourth match.

The ODI series against Australia will start from 17th of march. The selection of the players once again left the fans in aghast as BCCI showed no mercy on Sanju Samson, not even as a replacement of the injured Shreyas Iyer. Shiv Subdar Das-led BCCI selection committee have decided against spelling a replacement name of injured Shreyas Iyer. Iyer was ruled out of the entire ODI series against Australia  after he complained of having lower back pain. Iyer was taken for scans on the third day of the fourth final test match against Australia. Considering his reports, Iyer has the recurrence of his old injury.

Sanju Samson, who was being considered his replacement, was once again ignored by the selection committee. According to recent reports, the BCCI selection is unsure about naming the replacement for the injured Iyer.

Iyer has missed the Sri Lanka ODI series and the first test against Australia due to the same injury in back. However, after 15 days of resting, he got named for the second test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Delhi.

The ODI series is starting from 17th of march. Hardik Pandya will be seen leading in the game as Rohit will remain absent from the first ODI. He will be back for the second ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam.

On the recurrence of Shreyas Iyer injury, a senior BCCI official said, “It’s frustrating for sure. And it’s not the first time that a player has recurrence of an injury. We should have learned from Bumrah but we did not. Shreyas should have been eased into the team and not rushed to play grinding Test cricket. Hopefully, he will be fit for the ODI series. But it’s difficult to say anything at this point. He had scans and is currently under the medical team’s observation.”
