The first test match of IND vs AUS will be played in Perth
The first test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will be played on 22 November at the Perth ground. Regular captain Rohit Sharma is likely to play in the first test match. After losing the test series against New Zealand 3-0, Rohit said that it is not yet decided whether he will be a part of the Perth Test.
In such a situation, one of KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran can open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Perth Test. Both of them will also play in the unofficial test match, which will also make their preparations better.
