India will play a two-day pink-ball warm-up match ahead of the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide, which begins on December 6.

The floodlit warm-up match against the Prime Minister's XI will be held on November 30 and December 1 at Manuka Oval in Canberra after the first Test.

In the last two seasons the Prime Minister's XI fixture had been a four-day contest featuring West Indies in 2022 (which was also a day-night game) and Pakistan in 2023. Traditionally it had been a limited-overs fixture.

The India game has, however, been trimmed to just two days.

Rohit Sharma's men will play five Tests, beginning with the match in Perth from November 22.

On their previous tour of Australia in 2020-21, India lost the day-night Test in Adelaide by eight wickets when they were bundled out for their lowest Test score of 36 in the second innings but came back strongly to win the series 2-1.

India have an intra-squad warm-up at the WACA from November 15-18 ahead of the first Test. They will arrive in Australia on the back of a three-match home Test series against New Zealand.

Overall India have played just four day-night Tests, the last was in 2022 against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru. Australia have featured in 12, all at home, with last season's eight-run loss to the West Indies in Brisbane their first defeat in the pink ball.

The last time the Prime Minister’s XI faced India was in 2004, when Steve Waugh's team took on an Indian side led by Rahul Dravid.

The Australian Prime Minister will meet with chairman of selectors George Bailey and selector Tony Dodemaide to discuss the composition of the squad.

"Representing the PM's XI is a tremendous honour for any player given its rich history spanning eight decades," Bailey said.
