BGT 2024-25: Sai Sudharshan and Devdutt Padikkal to stay back; Gill & KL not full recovered ahead of First Test vs Australia
The much-awaited Border Gavaskar Trophy is set to start on the 22nd November at Perth in Australia. The preparations are in full swing as the Indian team are on the verge of getting knocked out of World Test Championship Final which is scheduled to be held in London June next year. However, ahead of the series, Indian team has gotten a few blows with Rohit Sharma being unavailable for the first Test, KL Rahul and Shubham Gill getting injuries, and Virat Kohli’s form.
Seeing the current issues, the selectors have decided to ask Sai Sudharshan and Devdutt Padikkal, who had good outings for India A to stay back for the Test series until there’s clarity on the availability of players. It will be interesting to see if the players are added into the India’s Test squad ahead of the First Test.
As of now, Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill are certainly out of the First Test against Australia.
