India-A vs Australia-A first ODI to begin at 2:00 PM; Second and third ODIs to start at 9:30 AM

The opening match of the fifty-over series featuring the hosts and visitors has been pushed back to a afternoon start time at the venue. The remaining two fixtures will proceed under the original morning schedule.

Leading the home squad will be Ruturaj Gaikwad, while Hardik Pandya misses out due to another fitness setback. Other prominent players named in the roster include Rajat Patidar, Devdutt Padikkal, and Sai Sudharsan.

Prior to this leg, the two sides contested a pair of unofficial red-ball matches, with the home side capturing the series one-nil after a massive victory in the opener followed by a stalemate.
