IND vs AUS T20 Series: Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne has questioned the schedule of the India-Australia T20I series immediately after the World Cup.
The five-match T20I series between India and Australia will begin on November 23 in Visakhapatnam. The final match will be played on December 3 in Bengaluru.
Marnus Labuschagne questions India-Australia T20 series schedule
India and Australia played the World Cup final a few days ago. Now, the two teams will play a five-match T20I series. The first T20I of the series will be played today. However, Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne has questioned the schedule of the India-Australia series immediately after the World Cup.
Labuschagne said, “It’s very surprising that the two teams are playing a T20I series now. It’s hard to understand. But this is the nature of scheduling, the nature of cricket at the moment.”
Labuschagne also spoke about the Australia-Pakistan Test series. He said, “We have three weeks for the first Test, so by then we will be fresh and ready for the next challenge.”
The five-match T20I series between India and Australia will begin today in Visakhapatnam. The match will start at 7pm IST.
Suryakumar Yadav will captain Team India against Australia
Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been rested for the India-Australia T20I series. Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian team in this series. While Ruturaj Gaikwad will be the vice-captain for the first three matches of the series. Shreyas Iyer will be the vice-captain for the last two matches.
It is worth noting that Australia defeated India by six wickets in the World Cup final a few days ago. In this way, Australia won the World Cup for the sixth time. While Team India’s dream of becoming the World Champion for the third time was shattered.
Here are some additional details from the article:
- The India-Australia T20I series will be played from November 23 to 30, 2023.
- The first three matches of the series will be played in Visakhapatnam, Chennai, and Rajkot.
- The last two matches of the series will be played in Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
Labuschagne’s comments are understandable. It is unusual for two teams to play a T20I series immediately after a World Cup final. However, it is likely that the schedule was set before the World Cup final was played.
