India Cancel Intra-squad Match At WACA Ahead Of BGT: Reports
Cricket Australia XI: The three-day intra-squad game between India Test team and India A, scheduled to be played behind closed doors from November 15-17 at the WACA ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been cancelled.
It means that India’s first match on tour of Australia will be the five-match Test series opener at Perth Stadium on November 22. A report in ESPNCricinfo on Thursday said India's hierarchy changed plans and instead of the three-day intra-squad game, they have opted for the squad to train at that time via net sessions and centre wicket match simulation scenarios at the WACA.
When India last won on their tours of Australia in 2018/19 and 2020/21 with identical 2-1 margins, they began with a tour game. In 2018/19, they played a four-day game against a Cricket Australia XI side, while their 2020/21 trip started with a three-day game against Australia A.
