Australia A vs India A: Squads, Schedule, When And Where To Watch And All You need To now

The much-anticipated four-match Test series between World’s No.1 Australia and the former number one team in the world, India will kick off with the pink-ball Test at the iconic Adelaide Oval from December 17.

But before that, the tourists will lock horns with Australia A in a couple of three-day warm-up games, the first of which will take place between December 06-08.

The practice match will be an opportunity for the Indian team-management to solve a few selection conundrums which include choosing Mayank Agarwal’s opening partner between Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill, zeroing on the first-choice wicketkeeper between Wriddhiman Saha and Rishabh Pant, and picking the fast bowlers to partner the duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami between Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Navdeep Saini.

Australia, on the other hand, will be keen to see how the likes of Joe Burns and Will Pucovski fare against the Indian bowling attack as they fight it out for the opening slot alongside David Warner.
