New Delhi. There has been a surprise entry of a young batsman in the Indian Test team on the Australia tour. In practice matches, he is constantly getting injured against Team India. After this, the team management has asked Devdutt Padikkal to stay in Australia. Padikkal has been in Australia for the last 20 days. He was playing for India A in a series of two 4-day unofficial matches against Australia A. Except Padikkal, all the players of the India A team captained by Rituraj Gaikwad will reach India in the next 24 hours. Padikkal has been asked by the Indian team management to stay in Australia after talking to the national selectors. Devdutt joined Team India as a backup player.

A 5-match Test series will be played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). The first Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Perth from November 22. The Indian team will stay in Australia for the next 50 days. According to a Cricbuzz report, this decision has been taken given the injuries of some top-order players and the unavailability of some. The first Test match between India and Australia will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth from November 22. Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the first Test match of the series. He has a fracture in his left thumb. Rohit Sharma is still in India after becoming a father for the second time. His playing in the first Test is also not certain.

Padikkal played a brilliant innings of 88 runs.
KL Rahul is suffering from an elbow injury. However, 34-year-old Rahul came to practice batting at WACA on Sunday. Devdutt Padikkal scored 36, 88, 26, and one run in four innings of the series against Australia A. This performance of Devdutt is not enough to enter Team India, but the team management feels that Devdutt is aware of the conditions here, so he is a better option as a batsman backup. Padikkal has played one Test match so far. He played one Test and two T20 Internationals against England this year.

No hurry with Shami
The Indian board does not want to rush with Mohammed Shami, who recently returned from injury. According to the report, there is no plan to send Shami to Australia yet. Shami turned to Ranji to prove his fitness where he took 7 wickets in his comeback match and helped Bengal win against Madhya Pradesh by 11 runs. Before taking any decision, the team management wants Shami to play more domestic matches. Shami can be seen playing for Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
