Team India players reached Sydney ahead of their long tour of Australia which also involves four Test matches.

All the players were seen wearing customised PPE kits and masks for travel amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

The two-month long tour gets underway with the ODI series, starting November 27. 

The four-match Test series will see India playing their first-ever day-night Test overseas. Adelaide Oval will host the day-night Test. 

India's Test specialist Ishant Sharma, who is recovering from an injury will join the squad only after proving his fitness at the National Cricket Academy. 

Rohit Sharma, who recently led Mumbai Indians to a record-extending fifth Indian Premier League title, has been rested for the limited overs leg of the Australian tour. 

Rohit suffered a hamstring injury during the league stages of the T20 league and was left out of the tour initially but in a revised squad announcement, the board added him in the Test squad. 

India's wicketkeeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha is also recovering from an injury he suffered during the IPL 2020. 

He has travelled with the team but the BCCI announced earlier that a call on his availability will be taken later.
