So finally the much awaited announcement has been made. The Indian cricket team: a big contingent has been announced for the upcoming cricket tour to Australia. Three teams have been announced for Twenty-20s(T 20s), One Day Internationals(ODIs) and the Test Matches.
The good news is that Melbourne would be hosting the traditional Boxers day test match on 26th December.
Virat Kohli is the captain for all the 3 formats.
Players like Varun Chakravarti, Navdeep Saini, Mohammad Siraj, Sanju Samson have got a look in.
One surprise ommission is Suryakumar Yadav of Mumbai Indians(MI)about whom a few former players have raised a lot of hue and cry.
Let us see how the things progress.
For the first 14 days, the Indians would be in quarantine and Training- I think it might be in Brisbane or Sydney.

I can sense that happiness and relief in your post
Did I hear a YAY when you said Melbourne
Surya Kumar Yadav has gained this popularity through his recent performance in current IPL. I am not following it so closely though.

His injury case is a bit mysterious. He was at a net practice one day for MI.
Yet unavailable for the tour.
