The BCCI press release said chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, along with Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, had been rested. The selectors decided to rest these players to allow them to be in best physical condition ahead of India’s tour to Down Under later in this month. India’s Australia tour will kickstart on 21 November with the three-match T20I series which will be followed by a four-match Test series. After the conclusion of the Test series, India will play three ODIs too.
