Melbourne: After winning the T20 series, Team India is now preparing for the real Test in the Test series. The first match of the Test series, starting on 17 December, is going to be Day-Night. To prepare for this, Team India will play a second practice match against Australia on Friday with a pink ball. Most of the batsmen were flops in the first practice match, so they will have another chance to prove themselves before the series.
It is doubtful to play Team India captain Virat Kohli in this match, who has indicated that he will prepare separately for the Test series. It can also be part of the strategy so that Australia does not get a clue about his preparation for the Test. After the end of the T20 series, Kohli said, 'I believe in playing the entire match. I will talk to the physio and decide about my preparation.'
On the other hand, the newly emerging Australian player Cameron Green will have another opportunity to influence the team management. Mitchell Swepson will be hoping that he gets a chance in the third Test at SCG next year.
