Team India to play day-night tour match right before Adelaide pink-ball Test against Australia

Team India is set to play a two-day, day-night tour match against Australia’s Prime Minister’s XI as part of their preparations for the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy later this year. The series, which kicks off in Perth on November 22, marks the first time since the 1991-92 season that the two cricketing powerhouses will face off in a five-Test series.
