AFP, New Delhi :
India on Monday named a jumbo 19-man squad for the four match Test series in Australia starting next month even as captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was ruled out of the opening match due to injury.
Batsman Virat Kohli will lead the tourists in the first Test in Brisbane from December 4, with Dhoni returning to the helm for the remaining three games, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said in a statement.
Dhoni has opted out of the ongoing one-day series against Sri Lanka due to a long-standing wrist injury.
