Overview

  • India confirmed Renuka’s unavailability for the one-off Test in Perth, citing workload management rather than a specific injury.
  • Kashvee Gautam, a pace-bowling all-rounder from the ODI squad, has been added to the Test group for a potential debut.
  • The day-night pink-ball Test at the WACA begins on March 6, concluding the multi-format tour.
  • India won the T20I series 2-1 but lost the ODI leg 0-3, and the Perth Test will determine the overall tour winner.
  • Kashvee’s recent returns include three wickets in six ODIs and 19 wickets across 18 WPL matches, while India’s pace options also feature Kranti Goud, Amanjot Kaur and Sayali Satghare.
