India have dominated the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the last few years, with Australia last winning the trophy in 2016-17. Since then, the Border-Gavaskar series has been organized twice in Australia and India has won it both times. The upcoming edition of BGT is scheduled to begin from November 22 with the first Test in Perth and the Indian team has reached Australia for the same.

With less than 10 days left for the series to begin, Western Australia Cricket’s chief curator Isaac McDonald mentioned that Perth will be based entirely on pace and bounce. Isaac said the main objective of creating a fast-paced pitch was to replicate last year’s scenes.

Notably, during the West Indies series, Perth’s pitches were under question due to lifeless decks and Isaac provided bounce and fast pace in the subsequent series against Pakistan. Isaac McDonald was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying, “This is Australia, this is Perth… I am preparing the pitch for really good pace, really good bounce and really good carry.”

According to a report in The West Australian, the WACA stadium is currently in lockdown, which is reminiscent of the time when the Indian team reached Perth during the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Its boundaries were covered with nets and closed to the public and apart from this, even the stadium staff were not allowed to use phones inside.

Let us tell you that, India had to play a practice game against the India A team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, which was already in Australia for a two-match unofficial Test series against Australia A. However, BCCI canceled the practice match after the clean sweep against New Zealand in the home Test series. BCCI does not want Indian players to get injured at the last minute.
