Indian cricket team led by stand-in captain Virat Kohli left for Australia to play in the four-match Test series starting in Brisbane from December 4. However, captain MS Dhoni and coach Duncan Fletcher did not travel with the team as Dhoni is recovering from thumb injury while Fletcher's wife is unwell and he will fly to Australia directly.
The Test series will be followed by a tri-nation series comprising hosts Australia, India and England from January 16 to February 1. Noman Ojha has been brought in place of Dhoni. This is good opportunity for the Indian side as the World Cup 2015 will begin shortly.
