India's squad for Australia tour likely on October 28, Cheteshwar Pujara in the fray

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to announce India's Test squad for the tour of Australia on October 28, with the inclusion of veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara a possibility considering his success during the team's last two tours Down Under.

The 36-year-old Test specialist scored 521 runs in the 2018-19 Border Gavaskar Trophy and 271 runs in the subsequent tour, which might force the Ajit Agarkar led selection panel to consider the right-handed batsman and his experience of 103 Tests as the stabilizing factor on the bouncy Australian tracks.
