Perth. The Australian team, playing the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024-25) at home against India, has lost the Perth Test by a huge margin of 295 runs. However, the team management is not perturbed by this and has decided not to change its team for the second Test. Australia's coach and selector Andrew McDonald said that there will be no change in the team, although there are concerns about the all-rounders. McDonald said that his team will reach Adelaide before the pre-scheduled schedule for the day-night Test starting on December 6 so that it can practice extra.

He told cricket.com.au, 'The people who were in the change room for the Perth Test will be in Adelaide as well. There is always a thought of making changes but the team is selected according to the situation.' Marsh, who has been struggling with fitness problems since England's limited-overs tour in September, bowled only 17 overs in the first Test and took 3 wickets.

McDonald said, 'I don't think his performance in the first Test was not satisfactory. We have to keep an eye on his fitness.' Defending Marnus Labuschagne, who has scored at an average of 13.66 in the last ten Test innings, he said, ‘There is constant talk about the ups and downs in the career of players. Bad times come but he will soon return to form. We believe in his ability. He is the player we need.’

Despite the crushing defeat, he said that the team's morale is strong. He said, 'We have to take responsibility for this defeat. We coaches too. Despite this defeat, the team's morale is high. Our strategy was right but it could not be implemented.'

Let us tell you that before the start of the series, the Indian team was being said to be on the backfoot because it hhadrecently reached here after being whitewashed 0-3 against New Zealand at home. All these fears were confirmed in the first innings of the first Test when Team India won the toss and batting first, was all out for just 150 runs. But after this, it made such a strong comeback in the second innings by bundling out the Australian innings for just 104 runs that the Kangaroo team was left helpless.
