For those fans who just can’t get enough red-ball cricket, the Australia A v India A series provides the perfect entrée for this summer’s massive NRMA Insurance Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between Australia and India.
The two second-string XIs have two four-day matches before the Indian Test squad gets acclimatised with the conditions in Perth with a three-day hit out against India A at the WACA Ground.
What’s the schedule?
The series begins in Mackay on Thursday, where the two sides will play the first four-dayer at Great Barrier Reef Arena from 10am local time.
The next stop a couple of days later is the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where several Test hopefuls from both sides will be using this as a dress rehersal for potentially returning here on December 26.
