India will miss the services of senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the ODI series as the right-arm pacer has been rested for the campaign. In his absence, senior pacer Mohammed Siraj will lead India’s pace department, with the assistance of Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Prasidh Krishna.

Speaking about Australia, the hosts will be without their captain Pat Cummins, who is battling a back injury. Mitchell Marsh will lead the side in his absence. Mitchell Starc will make his return to ODI cricket following his last game in November 2024.

Australia will miss the services of key spinner Adam Zampa as he has opted out of the opening game due to personal reasons. The right-arm spinner will return for the next two games. Josh Inglis is also set to miss the Perth ODI due to a calf injury and has been replaced by Josh Phillippe.
