*By Rajdeep Saha | Oct 03, 2025, 07:49 PM*
Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are all set to make their international comebacks. The two stars, who have not appeared in Indian colors since the ICC Champions Trophy, will be part of the one-day squad for the upcoming three-match series in Australia.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to announce the team on Saturday, October 5, as reported by Cricbuzz.
**Long Hiatus**
Kohli and Rohit last featured for India during the ICC Champions Trophy. Both players announced their retirements from T20 Internationals following India’s successful T20 World Cup campaign in 2024. Recently, they also confirmed their retirements from Test cricket.
Their absence has paved the way for younger players like Shubman Gill, who has taken on leadership duties during the ongoing Test series against the West Indies and in England.
**Tour Details: India’s Tour of Australia 2025**
The Indian cricket team’s tour of Australia is scheduled for October to November 2025. The series will begin with a three-match ODI series, with matches scheduled as follows:
– October 19 in Perth
– October 23 in Adelaide
– October 25 in Sydney
Following the ODIs, a five-match T20 International series will take place from October 29 to November 8. The T20I squad is also expected to be announced alongside the ODI squad.
Fans eagerly await the return of these iconic cricketers as India prepares for a challenging and exciting tour down under.
