Since then, Pujara has played domestic cricket consistently and scored a lot of runs, but at the moment his return to Team India seems unlikely. However, considering his experience, the management can include him in the team for the upcoming Australia tour. India will play some test series before that. They are scheduled to host Bangladesh and New Zealand later this year but the BCCI has not confirmed the dates yet. Playing on home soil, the Rohit Sharma-led side will be confident of winning this series as well as winning two consecutive series can help India qualify for the WTC final for the third consecutive time.
