India will lock horns with Australia in their first official warm-up game in Brisbane on Monday, October 17, ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. The Men in Blue will hope to put things back on track after a shocking defeat in their last practice game against Western Australia.

The Indian think tank will also want the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, among others, to get some batting practice before their all-important game against Pakistan on October 23.
