India vs Aus 5-match T20 series starts from Nov 23

The 2023 ODI World Cup is over now. The two finalists will again meet in a different format of the game – T20- starting from 23rd November as the attention now gradually shifts to the 2024 edition T20 World Cup to be played in West Indies and the US in June 2024. India on Monday announced the squad for the T20 Australia series. Suryakumar Yadav will lead Team India as Hardik Pandya is yet to recover from his knee injury. Indian cricket fans would like Team India to avenge for the loss in the ODI World Cup final.

Mohammad Shami, who was the highest wicket-taker of the World Cup, in a tweet after the World Cup loss to Australia had tweeted: “We will bounce back!”

However, Australia had announced its squad last month. Matthew Wade will captain Australia in the five-match T20I series against India. Australia’s skipper Pat Cummins and his fellow pacemen Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will return home after the World Cup.
