The BCCI on Sunday announced Team India's squads for the third and fourth Tests against Australia and the three-match ODI series. The hosts have named an unchanged squad for the final two Tests against the visitors. Jaydev Unadkat, who was released from the squad to participate in the Ranji Trophy final, is back in the squad for the remaining Tests and has also been named in the ODI squad. Unadkat, who has played seven ODIs previously, last played a 50-over game for India in 2013 against the West Indies.
