Sun Dec 01 00:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Rain Washes Out First Day of India’s Pink-Ball Practice Match
**Canberra, Dec 1, 2024** – Torrential rain forced the cancellation of the first day’s play in the two-day pink-ball practice match between India and the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra. The match, scheduled to begin Saturday, was abandoned due to unplayable conditions.
Both teams have agreed to a revised plan, aiming for a 50-over-a-side match on Sunday, weather permitting. This shortened format leaves key Indian players, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, who were omitted from the Perth Test, with limited practice ahead of the crucial pink-ball Test against Australia starting December 6th in Adelaide.
