[Lord Snooty]

Australia v India
Match Two
Sunday January 18th - 14:20 local time (03:20 GMT)
at The Melbourne Cricket Ground

David Warner is under something of a cloud after complaining of hamstring soreness but may well play because neither of the other batting options in the squad, Michael Clarke and Mitchell Marsh, are fit to replace him. Gurinder Sandhu and Kane Richardson may be considered in place of Xavier Doherty.

India are waiting until match day to confirm who will open with Shikhar Dhawan - both Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane have their hands up. Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja, both recovering from injury, will not play.


Australia Squad: GJ Bailey ©, PJ Cummins, XJ Doherty, JP Faulkner, AJ Finch, BJ Haddin (w), JR Hazlewood, MG Johnson, MR Marsh, GJ Maxwell, SPD Smith, MA Starc, DA Warner, SR Watson.

India Squad: MS Dhoni © & (w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Dhawal Kulkarni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Akshar Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Ishant Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav.
