AUS vs IND: Prior to the four-match Test series beginning on February 9, Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has made it clear that the team will not play any tour matches in India. According to McDonald, the players already have enough practice matches under their belts to be prepared for the difficult conditions in India.
Notably, the Australians played no tour games against Pakistan during their away Test series, which they finally won 1-0 in March of last year. Additionally, Australia will go to India approximately a week before the first Test match begins, according to McDonald.
We’ve played no tour games in the previous few series: Stephen McDonald
We’ve played no tour games in the previous few series in order to prepare for international trips. We believe that we don’t necessarily require that match practice. A week prior to the opening game, we will travel to India. In terms of the preparation, we didn’t want to press for too long, according to Andrew McDonald, who was mentioned by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Seven days, in our opinion, is enough time to prepare and ensure that we stay fresh for the entire four-match Test series, McDonald said. We went to Pakistan and had some success there. We weren’t there for very long,” he continued.
“In our own circumstances, we can be innovative. We’ve done it before with the Pakistan build-up in Melbourne. the wickets need cleaning. fit for the position. working with the local groundskeepers, who are really helpful to us around the country. Without necessarily playing a practice game, we think we can come the closest to it,” he continued.
After winning the four-match series 2-1 under Adam Gilchrist in the 2004–05 season, Australia will be aiming for their first Test series victory in India this year. After sweeping the series opener in Pune, the Australians had a decent chance for their final visit in the 2016–17 season. However, a resilient Indian side pulled off a stunning comeback to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by a score of 2-1.
