Meanwhile, talking about the team, they will miss the services of Josh Hazlewood for at least half of the season. he sustained Achilles tendonitis in late December. Since then, he hasn't played any cricket.

"Everything is ticking along according to plan, so I'll be heading over on the 14th (of April) depending on how the next two weeks go," Hazlewood was quoted as saying by The Age. "I probably won't be quite ready to go right then, but (after) another week in India to touch things up skills wise I should be ready to go hopefully."

On the other hand, Will Jacks was ruled out a while back and has been replaced by Michael Bracewell. The latter has hit a hundred in an intra-squad recently. The team will be led by Faf du Plessis, the former South Africa captain.

Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammad Siraj, Faf Du Plessis (c), Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmad, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Josh Hazlewood, Mahipal Lomror, Finn Allen, Suyash Prabhudessai, Karn Sharma, Siddharth Kaul, David Willey, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma,  Manoj Bhandage, Rajan Kumar, Avinash Singh, Sonu Yadav, Micheal Bracewell
