IND vs OFF: The first Test match between India and Australia is going to be played in Perth, where captain Jasprit Bumrah has decided to bat after winning the toss. But, when Shubman Gill's name did not appear in the playing eleven, everyone was surprised. However, BCCI itself has now posted information as to why Gill is not a part of the playing-eleven.
Why is Shubman Gill not playing Perth Test?
The Indian cricket team has suffered a big setback even before the start of the Perth Test. The team's star batsman Shubman Gill is not part of the playing eleven.

However, BCCI itself has posted on social media and informed that he is out of playing-11 due to injury.
BCCI wrote in the tweet- Update: Shubman Gill suffered a left thumb injury on the second day of match simulation at the WACA. He was not selected in the team for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. BCCI's medical team is monitoring his progress daily.
