locking

Red
Ball
format
as

First
Test
in

are
already
undergoing
training

at
their
respective

With
the
Four-Match

beckoning,
both
the
hosts
and
the
visitors
will
be
missing
a
number
of
players
due
to
injury.
While
some
of
the
players
are
already
out
with
long-term
problems,
some
names
had
to
be
withdrawn
for
a
more
recent
injury
problem.

IND
vs
AUS:
Jaydev
Unadkat
over
Umesh
Yadav?
India’s
probable
XI
for
the
1st
Test
in
Nagpur

There
will
be
some
key
members
who
won’t
be
able
to
take
part
in
the
series
at
all,
while
some
are
doubtful
or
ruled
out
for
the
first
couple
of
Tests.
Here
is
the
Full
List
of
Injured
Players
ahead
of
the
First
Test-

India:

The
hosts
will
be
taking
the
field
with
some
pivotal
names
missing
from
their
squad.

Rishabh
Pant:

Rishabh
Pant
won’t
feature
in
the
series
after
the
wicketkeeper-batter
suffered
an
accident
last
year.
He
underwent
knee
surgery
and
the
complications
mean
the
southpaw
will
be
out
of
action
for
at
least
a
year.
Pant,
who
would
have
been
an
important
piece
of
the
jigsaw,
going
to
be
a
big
miss
for
the
hosts.

Jasprit
Bumrah:

India’s
pace
spearhead
Jasprit
Bumrah
is
also
ruled
out
of
the
Tests
due
to
a
back
injury.
Although
it
is
unclear
whether
he
will
come
back
for
the
final
two
Tests,
India
certainly
going
to
miss
Bumrah
in
the
first
couple
of
matches.

Shreyas
Iyer:

India’s
prime
middle-order
batter
Shreyas
Iyer
is
also
ruled
out
of
the
Nagpur
Test
due
to
a
back
injury.
He
suffered
the
problem
due
to
an
earlier
limited-overs
series
and
has
since
undergone
rehabilitation
at
the
NCA
in
Bengaluru.
Iyer
is
expected
to
join
the
Indian
squad
in
Delhi
ahead
of
the
2nd
Test.

Australia:

The
visitors
are
also
marred
with
an
injury
list
of
their
own.

Josh
Hazlewood:

The
fast
bowler
is
ruled
out
of
the
First
Test
with
an
Achilles
Tendon
Issue.
He
has
been
carrying
a
niggle
for
a
long
time
and
is
also
doubtful
for
the
Delhi
Test.

Mitchell
Starc:

Mitchell
Starc,
another
pacer
of
Australia
who
will
not
take
any
part
due
to
an
injury.
He
damaged
his
left
arm
during
the
Test
series
against
South
Africa
and
will
not
feature
in
the
Nagpur
Test.

Cameron
Green:

Cameron
Green
fractured
his
finger
and
that
means
he
won’t
be
able
to
bowl,
which
led
to
his
omission
from
the
First
Test.
The
all-rounder
provides
a
much-needed
balance
to
the
Australia
squad
and
the
away
side
will
miss
that
in
the
first
match
of
the
Border-Gavaskar
Trophy.
