The ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25 has sparked discussions about a wide range of subjects. The series has already produced a number of talking points, ranging from Mohammed Siraj’s aggression to Bumrah’s skill in the first Test. One of the most recent, meanwhile, was when the Indian team denied open training sessions for the remainder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, claiming that they were having trouble focussing.
Another open training session for the fans was announced by the Australian team before of the third Test, which India had banned.
Cricket Australia posted a schedule of the sessions on social media.
On December 12, Australia will host the supporters, two days before the third Test match in Brisbane. However, there is little chance that the Indian squad will hold another open training session.
Attention turns to Brisbane!

Sessions on the net are extremely private: Rohit Sharma
India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, recently took front stage to discuss open net sessions and how the sessions’ discussions are extremely private and should not be shared with the general public. He said that it was the first time he had seen so many fans watching the net session and that he thought they should watch them during the game.
As you are aware, the net sessions are extremely private, and I have never seen so many people during the nets before. Additionally, a lot of highly intimate interactions take place during training and practice. Those chats should not be heard by anybody. There is a great deal of planning, so it is as easy as that,” Rohit stated during the press conference.
A great deal of conversation takes place. Also, the crowds are in close proximity to that practice space. The Test cricket matches go for five days. He went on, “They can come and watch us there.”
