Buoyed by their win in the first Test in Perth, the Indian cricket team arrived in Canberra for the mid-series two-day game against the Australia Prime Minister's XI on November 30 and December 1 ahead of the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide on December 6.
Captain Rohit Sharma, who missed the Perth Test, will have valuable match practice ahead of the day-night Test in Adelaide.
India last played a Pink Ball Test against Sri Lanka at home during the 2021/2022 season. India's last day-night Test in Australia ended in ignominous defeat after the side was skittled out for its lowest Test total (36) during the 2020/2021 series.
