Sunil Gavaskar has urged that junior cricketers should get the opportunity to take part in a couple of preparatory matches between the two Tests against Australia on their soil. 

Team India previously canceled their practice match against India-A in Australia. This Indian team have a few youngsters who will be touring Down Under for the very first time. And they will have no idea about the pace and bounce of those pitches. Gavaskar claimed that young batters should get warm-up games to understand the pace and bounce better on foreign soil.

 “I really do believe that they should have a warm-up game. In the gaps between Test matches, they really should have warm-up games. Not necessarily for the senior players. But for the junior players who have never played in Australia before. 

For the Yashasvi Jaiswals, the Sarfaraz Khans, the Dhruv Jurels, all these young batters. Even against an Australia-A team or a state side like Queensland, the juniors must be given the opportunity to get used to the bounce and pitches in Australia,” Gavaskar explained while speaking to The Indian Express.
