The first T20 not only pits two very different sides against each other, compared to those that played in the Tests, it also takes India and Australia to a fully new venue for international cricket. The stadium, at Home bush in Sydney's west, was built for the 2000 Olympics and has a far greater capacity than the SCG.
Appropriately enough it will host a new-look Australia team under the captaincy of debutant George Bailey. The 40-year-old spinner Brad Hogg will make his comeback after a vintage movement from him in the Big Bash League, while the fast bowler James Faulkner could be in line for his debut. David Warner and Shaun Marsh are the only men in the squad who took part in the Tests against India.
The visitors have more of a crossover from the Test series. A 17-strong party has assembled for the T20s and the triangular one-day series that follows, including comparatively inexperienced men like Rahul Sharma and Manoj Tiwary, but who will get the nod for the first match remains a mystery. Both sides are also hoping to use the series to narrow down their list of potential players for the World T20, to be held in Sri Lanka in September.
