The first match of the BGT series will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth from 22 November. Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) The wait of cricket fans is going to end very soon. It is noteworthy that the first match of the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) will be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth from Friday, November 22. However, in this series, the Indian cricket team is going to face Australia after suffering defeat in the three-match home Test series against New Zealand. Before this series, India also had to face defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. So, after such performance, if some media reports are to be believed, BCCI has started discussing with senior players about their future. Apart from this, this series will be the litmus test for head coach Gautam Gambhir, because till now Team India has not been able to perform as expected under the coaching of Gambhir. If Team India’s performance is not good in this series, then the management can also think about Gambhir’s future. Well, due to the absence of some players from Team India in this match, young players may get a chance to debut. It is noteworthy that due to the birth of his second child, captain Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this match. Whereas Shubman Gill, who got injured while fielding in the practice session, is out of this match. If sources are to be believed, due to his bowling ability, the management can include Nitish Kumar Reddy in the playing eleven, while due to the help of fast bowlers provided by the pitch, 22 year old young Harshit Rana may also get a chance to play. India’s probable XI against Australia for the first BGT Test Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Mohammed Siraj.
KKR Retained & Released Players 2025: See the list of retained and released players of Kolkata Knight Riders here
Defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had earlier expressed to the BCCI officials their desire to retain as many core players as possible. During a meeting on 31 July, the Sunrisers Hyderabad management also said the same thing, but IPL officials allowed each team to retain a maximum of six players, one of whom must be an uncapped Indian cricketer. KKR had to face a lot of problems in their retention for the final as their aim was to retain the key players. Since the BCCI made the IPL retention rules official, the management has interacted with the players several times, trying to understand their thought processes and at what price they are interested in being retained. BCCI said in the plan that the first retention will earn Rs 18 crore, after which the second and third retention will earn Rs 14 crore and Rs 11 crore respectively. But the rule that came after this had a different twist. The twist was that the fourth retention would get Rs 18 crore and the fifth retention would get Rs 11 crore. The uncapped player can be registered for Rs 4 crore. With Harshit Rana not making his debut, it was clear that the team management would retain him as an uncapped player, but there were a lot of doubts about the other players, especially captain Shreyas Iyer. But at the last moment he surprised everyone by retaining Andre Russell.
