Team India is all set to travel down under for a 3 match test series and 5 match one day series. Last time India played Australia in Australia was in 2008.The Test Series was a whole of controversies and saw cricket in it's worst form. Australia won the test series by 2-1 but many say that it was Kumble and his boys who deserved to win the test series. Game at Sydney saw great amount of wrong decision's taken by umpire Steve Buckner.
BCCI Announced the 15 Men Touring Squad for the test series. Names Like Murli Vijay , Manish Pandey were present in the squad. Selectors were looking for a new spin bowler for which they selected S.Jakati.

This tour is all set to bring in some player's who were waiting for a long time to come back to the side.Irfan Pathan was one such name. Irfan Pathan was dropped from the side after failure in the ICC T20 World Cup in 2009 in England. He performed brilliantly in the domestic structure and earned his place back in the side. Inclusion of Parthiv Patel was obvious after his tons and tons of runs in this year's Domestic circuit. Dinesh Kartik did nothing wrong but selectors needed some change in the side keeping sight the 2011 World Cup.Sudeep Tyagi was alsoin the squad after touring few countries before, Will he play or not is not decided but definitely he will be warming the bench. Surprise and Shocked inclusion of Manish Pandey raised question on the selection committee. S.Badrinath was the obvious choice for Yuvraj's replacement, but selectors proved everyone wrong by selecting Manish Pandey in the Squad.
