Australia's Prime Minister XI Named For Two-day Fixture Against India

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Cricket Australia's National Selection Panel (NSP) have named the squad for the Prime Minister's XI match against India in Canberra. ACT Comet Hanno Jacobs will rub shoulders with Test-capped internationals Scott Boland and Matthew Renshaw when he takes the field for the Prime Minister's XI. A fast-bowling allrounder, Jacobs has represented the ACT Comets for the past four seasons in the Second XI competition. The squad will reunite former Australian Under-19 teammates Charlie Anderson, Mahli Beardman, Aidan O'Connor and Sam Konstas for the first time since their victorious World Cup campaign in February.

Jack Edwards will captain a squad which contains a blend of Australia's brightest young talent and established international cricketers.

The team will be supported throughout the game by local ACT premier cricketers.

The two-day, day/night fixture against India begins on Saturday, November 30, 2024 at Manuka Oval.

The match will see India play under lights with the pink Kookaburra ball ahead of the Day Night Test Match at Adelaide Oval.
