IND vs AUS: Will Australia defeat Team India 'comfortably' in Adelaide? Head coach again threatened India
Cricket News Desk. The second match of the five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India will be played from December 6. The Australian team, which has lost the first match of the series, will enter this match with a lot of pressure. This match between the two teams will be a day-night test at Adelaide Oval. Before this match, a 2-day warm-up match will be played between Team India and Prime Minister's XI in Canberra from 30th November. Before this, the Australian team has taken a big decision.
Australia's big decision before Adelaide Test
In the first test match of Border Gavaskar Trophy, India defeated Australia by 295 runs. After this, many former players including former captain Michael Clarke had appealed to field Australian batsmen in the practice match in Canberra before the Adelaide Test. But the Australian selectors have decided not to include any out-of-form batsman in the Prime Minister's XI against India in Canberra.
According to the report of Sydney Morning Herald, 'Such a decision has been taken because it is necessary for the players to spend time at home and apart from this, the Australian team also wants to evaluate its Test batsmen before the next match. No one wants to take risks in the five-match series against India. That means, before this match, instead of practicing, Australian players will rest at home and then play against Team India in Adelaide.
Big statement from Australian coach Andrew McDonald
Australia's head coach Andrew McDonald also said that he does not want to send any player from the Test team for the practice match to be held in Canberra. McDonald said, 'No such thing has come to our mind. We feel we are well prepared for the busy summer season. We will prepare well for the Adelaide Test match. Before the series started, we were only thinking about the opening Test match. You always want to get the summer season off to a good start. It is not that you start thinking about the fifth Test from the very beginning and it is important to win and we are working to get favorable results. We were spontaneous and our preparation for the performance is no excuse. Players like Sam Konstas and Matt Renshaw and fast bowler Scott Boland will feature in the pink ball Test in Canberra.
