Team India may rotate their premier strike bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami in the upcoming six white-ball games against Australia as the team management would like to keep them ready for the four-Test series. Bumrah and Shami's workload management will be at peak especially for the Test in case Ishant Sharma is not available for the first Test, Hindustan Times reported. However, India’s second and third T20I will be coinciding with the first warm-up game for the Tests. It may be possible that both Bumrah and Shami will play the ODIs and then switch to Test match mode by playing the warm-up games. And with a pink ball warm-up game being held at the SCG from December 11-13, India’s likely 11 are set to play in the dress rehearsal.
