## Conclusion
In April 2018, the Western Australian Cricket Association confirmed that the Perth Stadium
would host its first ever Test match. During the second Test, it became the tenth venue in
Australia to host a Test match. India's regular wicket-keeper for limited overs matches, MS
Dhoni, was not named in the side's squad for the T20I fixtures for this series and the ones
against the West Indies. Instead, India's Test wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant, was selected in
Dhoni's place. The T20I series was drawn 1–1, after the second match finished in a no
result.
## Findings
India won the Test series 2–1, after the fourth match of the series finished as a draw. India
became the first Asian team to win a Test series in Australia.
## Discussion
In the ODI series that followed, Australia won the first match by 34 runs, recording their
1,000th win in international cricket. However, India went on to win the next two games, and
consequently the series 2–1; in the process recording their first bilateral ODI series victory
in Australia.
## Background (List)
- == Squads ==
Mitchell Starc was added to Australia's T20I squad for the third match, replacing Billy
Stanlake, who was injured.
- Prithvi Shaw was ruled out of India's Test squad due to injury and was replaced by
Mayank Agarwal.
- Hardik Pandya was also added to India's squad for the last two Test matches.
- Marnus Labuschagne was added to Australia's squad for the fourth Test.
- Jasprit Bumrah was rested for the ODI series and was replaced by Mohammed Siraj in
India's squad.
## Analysis
Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of Australia's squad for the first ODI due to illness and was
replaced by Ashton Turner. On 11 January 2019, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul were
suspended by the BCCI following controversial comments they made on the Indian talk
show Koffee with Karan earlier in the month. They were ruled out of the ODI series of this
tour, and all of the fixtures of India's tour to New Zealand. Vijay Shankar was added to
India's ODI squad as a replacement.
