The Optus Stadium has become the new centre for Test cricket in Perth after the WACA. The Optus Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium that hosts several sporting events apart from cricket. It is located in the suburbs of Burswood.
Team India do not have happy memories of playing at the Optus Stadium in Perth. They played against Australia during their four-match Test series in 2018 and lost the game by 146 runs, under the leadership of Virat Kohli.
Pakistan have a golden opportunity to win the series 2-1 as Australia will be without several of their star players in Perth. Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Marnus Labuschagne have left the ODI squad to prepare for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The 2025-26 home Ashes series for Australia will be part of the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, which begins after the final at the Lord's next year. The five-match Test series is scheduled to take place from November 21, 2025, to January 8, 2026.
