IND vs AUS Predicted Playing XI for Champions Trophy semifinal: Four spinners in the mix?
India is likely to field four spinners against Australia in the Champions Trophy semifinal in Dubai. Having benefited from Varun Chakaravarthy over Harshit Rana, the team may stick to the strategy if conditions suit. Australia must replace the injured Matthew Short, with Jake Fraser-McGurk as a backup opener, though all-rounder Cooper Connolly could slot into the middle order, pushing Steve Smith up.
