Suryakumar Yadav has been named captain of a 15-member squad for the upcoming 5-match series against Australia. The squad includes 3 spinners and has notable omissions like Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal. The selection maintains continuity from the T20 World Cup team, with minimal changes.

Left-arm spinner Axar Patel makes a notable return to the squad after missing the World Cup due to injury. Leg-break bowler Ravi Bishnoi and off-spinner Washington Sundar are also included in the spin department. Chahal, who has not played T20Is recently, expressed his sentiments on social media after being left out.
