While Rohit Sharma will handle the captaincy in the Test series. The Test series will start on November 22. 15 for the T20i series and 18 main and 3 reserve players for the Test series have been included. However, it has come to light that the selection committee once again ignored the young player Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Leadership Role with Team India A
The selection committee did not pick Ruturaj for the Test series against Australia. Therefore, Ruturaj fans have strongly criticized BCCI on social media. Team India A has left for Australia ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Team India A will play 2 first-class matches against Australia A.
In the third and final match, Team India A will face Rohit Sena. This match has been organized to make Rohitsene aware of the situation there before the series against Australia. The matches of Team India A will start on October 31. For this, Team India A has reached Australia. Therefore, it is clear that Ruturaj will not be selected for the T20i series against South Africa. But not getting a chance for the Test series in Australia has shocked many cricket fans.
Future Prospects
Team India A will play a total of 3 matches before the Border Gavaskar Trophy. So Ruturaj will have good practice in these 3 matches. Also, he will have a good idea of the situation there. Being the captain of Team India and considering his performance in domestic cricket, Ruturaj was likely to get a chance in the Test series. But since that is not the case, what exactly is going on in BCCI’s mind for many people? Such a question has been raised on this occasion.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy Schedule
Team India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Iswaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar.
