India Set to Face Prime Minister XI in Warm-up Match Ahead of Day-Night Test in Adelaide
Before heading to Adelaide for the highly anticipated day-night Test against Australia, Team India will face the Prime Minister’s XI in a two-day warm-up match in Canberra. Rohit Sharma, who has joined the Indian squad after his absence in the first Test, will lead the side in this practice fixture at Manuka Oval. The match, scheduled for November 30, will help India acclimate to the pink Kookaburra ball, crucial preparation for the upcoming challenge.
India last played a day-night match in 2022 against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, and with the Adelaide Test looming, the team needs to get a feel for the conditions and pink ball before the big match. The warm-up is vital, as the last time India played a pink-ball Test in Adelaide, they were infamously bowled out for just 36 runs, a humiliation they’ll be eager to avoid this time.
