Original Story:
There is a strong possibility that some senior members of the Indian cricket team, especially Test specialists like V V S Laxman, who does not play ODIs, will leave for Australia ahead of the team's departure on December 12.
"Nothing has been decided as yet and we would inform the media once it happens, but, yes, the possibility of some players leaving early for Australia exists," a BCCI source said on Thursday.

'As of now nothing is concrete and if it is not concrete I can't say anything about it. Such a decision will help the players in acclimatizing to the conditions as was the case when we went to South Africa (before the World Cup),' Dhoni had said.
On that occasion India lost the opening Test at Centurion Park, defeated the Proteas in the second match of the three-match rubber at Kingsmead in Durban before the two teams drew the third and final Test at Sahara Park Newlands in Cape Town.
Dhoni has been rested for the ongoing five-match ODI series against the West Indies and in his absence the team is being led by Virender Sehwag.
Rahul Dravid has retired from ODIs and is available for early departure to Australia.
