Axar Patel will likely be ruled out for 3 weeks as the left-arm spinner has a left quadriceps injury and has been on the sidelines since the Asia Cup 2023 final earlier this month. While Washington Sundar replaced him in the Asia Cup final, Ravichandran Ashwin had taken his spot in the three-match Cricket ODI series against Australia. With Axar Patel failing to get fit in time, the selectors decided to replace him with Ashwin, who bowled well vs Aussies.
