In-form allrounder Cameron Green will tick off another requirement for a potential Test debut in Adelaide when he encounters the pink-ball under day-night conditions for the first time in this week's three-day tour game against India.
Green was today confirmed in the 12-man Australia A squad for the first-class match starting Friday at the SCG, which will provide the first and last opportunity for players to hone their pink-ball skills under the same match conditions as the opening Vodafone Series fixture at Adelaide Oval from next week.
The 21-year-old is certain to play in the warm-up game against a full-strength India outfit, with fellow Test squad members Joe Burns, Sean Abbott and Mitchell Swepson also included in the 12 while the remainder of Australia's expanded Test group assembles in Adelaide.
Former ODI vice-captain Alex Carey will lead the Australia A team that also includes allrounder Moises Henriques and pace bowlers Mark Steketee, Harry Conway and Will Sutherland.
With opener David Warner already ruled out of the series opener due to a groin injury, and uncapped Victorian Will Pucovksi rested from the tour game and in doubt for a possible Test debut due to mild concussion, Marcus Harris is expected to open alongside Burns at the SCG.
Should Pucovski be deemed unavailable after being struck while batting on the final day of Australia A's three-day warm-up game against the Indians at Drummoyne Oval yesterday, it seems likely Harris would accompany Burns at the top of the order in the first Vodafone Test.
Cricket Australia said Pucovski was still experiencing "mild" concussion symptoms on Wednesday as he remains in Sydney with the Australia A squad.
