Australian captain Mitchell Marsh expressed that facing India in the lead-up to the Ashes series against England, commencing on November 21, presents an ideal and timely challenge, while highlighting the strong rivalry and mutual respect between the two teams.
India’s white-ball tour of Australia starts with the ODI series opener on October 19 at Perth Stadium and is followed by matches at Adelaide Oval and Sydney Cricket Ground on October 23 and 25, respectively.
It is followed by the five-match T20I series beginning on October 29 at Manuka Oval in Canberra.
“We’ll have all the guys building towards the Ashes, but everyone loves playing against India. We’ve got a great rivalry and great respect for them as a team. I think it’s literally perfect timing to be playing against India in the lead-up to an Ashes series. It’s going to be massive,” he told Fox Sports.
Australia will continue their preparation to rebound from a disappointing T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States when they host India in separate ODI and T20 series over the next three weeks.
The massive crowds that attended last year’s thrilling Border-Gavaskar Trophy indicated how enticing the rivalry between Australia and India has become.
The last time India toured Australia for a bilateral ODI series, the visitors lost by a 2-1 margin in 2020-21 but managed to win the subsequent T20I series by the same margin on the same tour.
