Aaron Finch will resume his role as the Australian skipper for both the one day internationals and T20Is. Meanwhile pace spearhead Pat Cummins will be Finch's second in command as the vice captain of the team against Virat Kohli and his 'Men in Blue'
Seam all-rounder Mitchell Marsh who sustained an injury while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing thirteenth edition of the IPL has not been named in either of the squads.
