The Indian Test squad has landed in Perth and is prepping for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). But they're keeping things under wraps. At the WACA, where they're training, a black sheet now covers the practice nets, blocking out any view of their sessions. Clearly, Team India isn't here to show its cards early.

India Keeps Practice Sessions Under Wraps at WACA for BGT Preparation

With just a few days until the first Test, the Indian team is deep into training mode. But they're not at the main match venue, Perth Stadium – it's all happening at the WACA, just a short drive away.

The team arrived in two separate groups, and they'll spend the next ten days getting used to Aussie conditions. The black sheet covering the grill around the practice nets? Well, it's clear they don't want any early peeks. The photo of the same was shared by a Forbes cricket journalist on Twitter.


While most of the team is ready to go, there's still some suspense around captain Rohit Sharma. He might miss the first Test because of personal reasons. Missing their skipper right before a big series would be a huge blow, and fans are on edge to see what happens.

Practice Game Called Off, More Nets Time

Meanwhile, head coach Gautam Gambhir and his team decided to skip the practice game against India' A.' They believe extended net sessions are the way to go this time. The idea is simple – more time getting into rhythm in the nets rather than playing warm-ups.

Chasing the WTC Dream

This tour is about more than just beating Australia. India is also looking to secure a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. A rough 0-3 series loss to New Zealand knocked them down to second place on the WTC table.

To qualify outright, they need to win four out of the five BGT matches. Falling short means they'll need to rely on other results, which isn't the best position. With all eyes on the upcoming Test, this series is shaping up to be a huge moment for India – a shot at redemption, WTC glory, and a chance to make history Down Under.
