Selectors ignored Yuzvendra Chahal for the 5-match T20I series against Australia

It has been tough going for Yuzvendra Chahal in the international cricket arena over the past few months, as the Indian selectors snubbed him for the Asia Cup and then the 2023 World Cup.

Many expected him to feature in the second-string Indian squad, which would face Australia in the five-match T20I series immediately following the World Cup. However, Chahal was ignored even for that series as the selectors gave a chance to young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi.

Here is Team India's T20I squad for the five-match series vs Australia:

Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
