The Indian cricket team is going to play their first series after a long gap because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The team India head coach Ravi Shastri is looking forward to the series against Australia and he's happy to be back to work.

Shastri shared pictures with Hardik Pandya, Shikhar Dhawan, Shardul Thakur and expressed his happiness on the return to international cricket for India.

India last played against New Zealand in February and before they could begin the series against South Africa, it was called off because of COVID-19.

"Great to get back to business - with @hardikpandya7 @SDhawan25, @imShard, #TeamIndia #AUSvIND", he wrote.

The India cricketers are coming from the Indian Premier League and looking set to be at their best in the limited-overs series. But their main focus will be the Border-Gavaskar trophy Test series, especially after the news of skipper Virat Kohli missing out last three Tests.

India and Australia will be up against each other in three ODIs, three T20Is, and four Tests. The tour starts with T20Is on November 27.
