Shikhar Dhawan was not available for the first three ODIs, as he took leave to attend to his wife, who was unwell.[18] After the third ODI, he was not named in India's squad for the final two ODI matches, with no replacement named.[19] Ravindra Jadeja was added to India's ODI squad for the first three matches, as a replacement for Axar Patel who injured his ankle.[20] Patel was included for the last two ODIs, replacing Jadeja.[21]
Ahead of the T20I series, Australia rested Pat Cummins, due to his increased workload schedule.[22] Andrew Tye was named as his replacement.[23] While fielding during the fifth ODI, Steve Smith picked up a shoulder injury, and was sidelined for the T20I series, with Marcus Stoinis being called up as a replacement, and David Warner given the captaincy.[24]
