Ind vs Aus: Australia Announced a strong 16-men squad for the ODI series in India. Marsh, Maxwell returns: Australia have finally picked a trio of key players to make their after-injury comeback to the side during the three-match ODI series in India later this month. On Thursday, Cricket Australia announced a strong 16-man squad for the ODI series, with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Mitch Marsh making their International return.



Along with David Warner, Ashton Agar, and Pat Cummins, who all returned to Australia this week from the Test tour, paceman Jhye Richardson will also make his long-awaited international return. In order to get a head start on the conditions for their World Cup campaign later in the year, Australia has chosen an almost full-strength squad for the ODI series in India next month.



Cummins left the team this week to attend to a medical condition that a Cricket Australia official described as a "serious family illness," but he plans to return before the third Test the following week.

Speaking about the inclusion of the three players, chief selector George Bailey indicated that Maxwell, Marsh, and Richardson could be crucial players in the squad for the World Cup later this year.



"With the World Cup just over seven months away, these matches in India are an important step in our preparation," Bailey said.



"Glenn, Mitchell, and Jhye are all important players in what we think the squad might look like come October. It would be great for Josh to be part of this series but we have taken a conservative view ahead of a very important winter in England of which he will be an integral part," he added.

IND vs AUS ODI Schedule, Full squads, Timing, Venues, Probable Playing 11, Streaming, and Broadcasting: Following the end of a four-match test series in which India recaptured the Border Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-1 series victory, India and Australia will get engaged in a bilateral one-day international series. Here we will let you through the IND vs AUS ODI schedule, full squads, match timing, how to book tickets, where to watch IND vs AUS ODI series 2023, and all you need to know.



As we are aware, the ODI World Cup is slated in India this year so the three-match ODI series, which begins just four days after the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, will serve as essential pre-World Cup 2023 preparation for both teams. 



BCCI has already released the schedule for India vs Australia ODI series. India will square off against the visitors Australia in the 1st ODI on 17 March at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai followed by the 2nd ODI on 19 March at Vishakhapatnam. The third and the last ODI will be staged on 22 March at Chennai.



And a big update came recently that Pat Cummins, the Australian regular skipper will stay home and won't participate in the ODI series against India. Steve Smith, who captained his side in the last two tests will continue to lead the side in the ODI leg as well.



Due to the fact that the World Cup will be hosted in India, the three ODIs will give both teams a chance to test their mettle against top competition in conditions that will be akin to those at the World Cup later this year. Both teams, who were eliminated in the World Cup semifinals in 2019, will enter the 2023 competition as two of the favorites. These two teams are now ranked first and second in the ICC ODI international rankings.

Steve Smith will lead the Aussies men in India while Pat Cummins stays at home for a while longer. Pat Cummins just lost his mother and had to return home in the middle of the India tour. Australia will attempt to gain something from the ODI series after losing the Test series 2-1.



The Australian Coach Andrew McDonald confirmed the news and said, "Pat won?t be coming back, he?s still taking care of what?s happened back home. Our thoughts are with Pat and his family as they go through that grieving process." It means Smith will stay on as a skipper.



After the team's second Test loss in Delhi last month, Cummins promptly took off for Home to be with his family. Maria, the mother of the 29-year-old, passed away in Sydney last Friday, ahead of the second day of the fourth Test.

Talking about the middle batting order, Indian ex-captain Virat Kohli will come to bat at number three, and even though Kohli has been running out of form for the last few years, he has come into his old form by scoring a brilliant century in the Ahmedabad Test match.



Batting at number four, we can see Suryakumar Yadav. He has been in amazing form in white-ball cricket for some time now, so his performance against Australia can prove to be important for the Indian team, whereas if we talk about KL Rahul, he has got a new role in the team; earlier he used to open for the team, but now he is seen batting at number five.



<h4>Allrounders: Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Hardik-Pandya-Suryakumar-Yadav.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team, Playing11, Pitch Report, Where to Watch Australia tour of India 2023?" class="wp-image-104688" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



If we talk about the best all-rounder in modern cricket, then the names of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja definitely come up. In such a situation, the performance of these two will prove very helpful in winning the team. Pandya is also the vice captain in this series.



Left-handed bowler Ravindra Jadeja strengthens the team with his spin bowling as well as his batting technique, while Washington Sundar has been performing well for the Indian team for some time, Sundar also bats along with bowling. Due to this, the depth of the batting order of the team increases even more.



<h4>Bowlers: Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami</h4>



Mystery spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been in the squad for a long time, but he rarely gets a chance to play in the playing XI. However, whenever he has had the opportunity to play, he has done well for the team.



In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah in fast bowling, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami are doing well for the team. During the year, in the initial power play, both of them can unsettle the opposing batsman with the help of their sharp bowling.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
