 "India vs Australia Live Streaming: When and where to watch 1st Test Match on live TV online")
One team has one of its star players sidelined with an ankle injury, and he’ll miss the first test beginning Thursday at the Adelaide Oval. The other has had upsetting publicity it could never have imagined with the brother of one of its opening batsmen charged with a terrorism-related offence.
An Australia-India test series never seems to disappoint cricket fans looking for as much news off the field as on.
On Tuesday, the brother of Australia batsman Usman Khawaja was taken into custody by counter-terrorism police investigating the discovery in August of a laptop computer containing a fake terrorist hit-list.
The 31-year-old Khawaja has played 35 tests and is critical to the top order in the absence of Steve Smith and David Warner, who have both been banned for 12 months following the ball-tampering scandal at Cape Town, South Africa, in March.
India, meanwhile, will go into the start of the four-test series without 19-year-old Prithvi Shaw, who sustained a left ankle injury in a warm-up match last Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Shaw rolled his ankle in the outfield during his India’s tour match against a Cricket Australia XI.
The loss of Shaw won’t help India as it tries to win a test series in Australia for the first time.
And most of the previous series have history.
