The batsmen of Team India going on Australia tour will face the challenge of Perth’s fast and bouncy pitch in the very first match. The test will start from November 22 in Perth. Pitch curator Isaac McDonald has said- ‘We want to leave some grass on the pitch to make it a little spicy (faster). The grass will be up to 10 mm. That means extra bounce and speed will be seen here.

The Indian team played its last Test match here in 2018. A practice match was also to be held here before the test, which has been cancelled. Team India will play a 5 test match series in Australia. The last test will be played between 3-7 January.

What kind of pitch should the curator make? McDonald, head curator of Western Australia Cricket, said, ‘This is Australia, this is Perth… I am preparing a pitch which has great pace, bounce. I want the result of this match to be similar to the match played last year. I want it to have a slightly spicy pitch.

McDonald said- ‘This (pitch) will be exactly the same as it was in the first match of the Test series against Pakistan in November last year. In that match, the Pakistani team was reduced to 89 runs in the second innings. 8 batsmen of Pakistan could not reach double figures. Australia won that match by 360 runs. In that match, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith were hit by the ball.
