New Delhi: Indian senior pacer Ishant Sharma has been ruled out of the Test series against India and Australia, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement.

"Ishant has recovered completely from his side strain injury sustained during IPL 2020 in the U.A.E. While he’s building up his workload in order to achieve Test match fitness, Mr Ishant Sharma has been ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy," read a statement issued by the BCCI.

On Indian opener and Mumbai Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's situation, BCCI said he is presently undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA.

"Rohit Sharma’s next assessment will be conducted on December 11th following which the BCCI will have clarity on his participation in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia," the board said.

"Rohit Sharma had to come back to Mumbai after the IPL to attend his ailing father. His father is now recuperating well and that has allowed him to travel to the NCA and start his rehabilitation," BCCI said.

Rohit Sharma just led Mumbai Indians to another Indian Premier League victory.

T Natarajan to India’s squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia starting from Friday.

Navdeep Saini complained of back spasm and Natarajan has been added as a back-up.

India’s ODI squad: Virat Kohli (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Mayank Agarwal, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, T Natarajan.
