Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has made a comeback to India’s ODI squad for the three-match series against Australia. Ashwin will compete with Washington Sundar for a potential World Cup berth if Axar Patel doesn’t recover in time for the global event. Several senior players, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Kuldeep Yadav, have been rested for the first two games to give them a mental break before the World Cup. KL Rahul will captain the side for the first two games, with Rohit Sharma returning to lead a full-strength squad in the third ODI ahead of the World Cup, which begins on October 5.
