India vs NEW DELHI: Australian pacer Scott Boland will lead the Prime Minister's XI bowling attack in a two-day pink-ball match against India at the Manuka Oval in Canberra from November 30.
This warm-up game is crucial for both teams as they prepare for the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide, which will also be a day-night contest.
Boland, already in the Australian Test squad, will be keen to secure his place in the starting XI for the pink-ball game in Adelaide, particularly with Michael Neser ruled out with a hamstring injury.
The Prime Minister's XI, put together with the support of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, features a mix of young talent and experienced players.
Led by Jack Edwards, the squad includes Under-19 World Cup winners and rising stars such as Ollie Davies, as well as experienced campaigners such as former Test opener Matthew Renshaw, who is keen to impress the selectors.
The game is a crucial opportunity for India to get used to the pink-ball format after almost three years, with captain Rohit Sharma expected to return after his absence from the series opener.
