After securing a morale-boosting victory in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Perth earlier this week, the Indian team will move to the Australian capital, Canberra, for its two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister’s XI.
The match will be played over two days — November 30 and December 1 — as India prepares for the Pink-ball Test match in Adelaide, starting on December 6. The tour match will offer captain Rohit Sharma, who missed the opener in Perth, valuable game time ahead of his return.
The Rohit-led side last played a Pink-ball Test against Sri Lanka at home during the 2021/22 season. However, its previous day-night Test in Australia ended in defeat after the side was skittled out for its lowest Test total (36) during the 2020/21 BGT series.
