Following a successful run in the recently-concluded home leg, the 14-member Indian team is currently in Australia for the preparations of the all-important T20 World Cup 2022. The team appeared in a couple of warm-up games against Western Australia this week and is scheduled two play two more formal practice games next week ahead of the marquee tournament.
India will begin their campaign in the crucial ICC event with a high-octane encounter against Pakistan. The battle between arch-rivals will occur on October 23 at the renowned Melbourne Cricket Ground. Men In Blue will be desperate to kick off their outing with a win, especially, after suffering a horrible outing in last year’s T20 World Cup (2021).
India did not manage to qualify for the knock-outs in last year’s exact ICC event. The Virat Kohli-led team faced two back-to-back defeats in their opening two encounters against Pakistan and New Zealand respectively, which virtually eliminated them from the tournament in the Super 12 stage itself.
