After winning the T20I series against South Africa at home, Team India’s bilateral series calendar came to an end as they gear up to jet off to Australia for the T20 World Cup 2022.

Rohit Sharma and Co will leave for Down Under on October 6, Thursday, and they are scheduled to play four warmup matches in the continent before opening their World Cup campaign with a meeting against arch-rivals Pakistan.

The Men in Blue will set up their camp in Perth, where they will play two warmup matches against Western Australia XI, on 10th and 13th October from 4 pm onwards, followed by the two pre-scheduled warmup matches against Australia and New Zealand.
