The much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia is set to commence under a cloud of uncertainty, with the threat of rain looming large over the first Test in Perth. This is particularly unusual as Perth is typically a dry region, especially during the November-May period. However, recent weather forecasts have suggested a potential rain spell on November 21, the day before the Test begins, with a slight chance of precipitation on the first day itself.
Despite these initial concerns, the remaining days of the Test are expected to be rain-free, with pleasant and sunny conditions. The pitch at the Optus Stadium is reported to be green, favoring fast bowlers, which could significantly impact the course of the game.

The third seamer’s spot is up for grabs, with Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana vying for the position.
