Axar in squad for last two Australia ODIs

Jadeja dropped, Axar Patel comes back for last 2 ODIs

The Board of Control for Cricket in India's selectors, on Sunday, included left-arm spinner Axar Patel in the squad for the last two One-Day Internationals of the ongoing series against Australia and dropped Ravindra Jadeja.

Patel twisted his ankle before the series-opener in Chennai, therefore the selectors included Jadeja in the 15-man squad as cover.

India have already sealed the series with a comfortable five-wicket victory in Indore, rendering the last last two matches inconsequential.

The fourth match will be played in Bengaluru on September 28 while the series will conclude in Nagpur on October 1.

India's squad: Virat Kohli (captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Ajinkya Rahane, M S Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Axar Patel.
