Weather forecast for Boxing Day: rain drama likely on these days

India is likely to make a few changes when they take on Australia in the Boxing Day Test, starting on December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. According to reports, Indian captain Rohit Sharma will open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, while KL Rahul will drop a place to No. 3. India could potentially field two spinners – Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja – with Shubman Gill or Nitish Kumar Reddy will probably have to deal with the axe. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep will retain their places in the pace bowling department.

The series is tied at 1-1 after three Tests. India defeated Australia by 295 runs in the first Test in Perth, before the hosts leveled the tie with an emphatic 10-wicket success in Adelaide. Meanwhile, the rain-affected third Test ended in a draw last week.

Unlike Brisbane, the weather in Melbourne is likely to remain clear for the five days of the competition. There is a 25 percent chance of rain on day 3 and day 4. In addition, it remains warm and humid.

Meanwhile, Australia named their playing XI on the eve of the match, with in-form batsman Travis Head declared fit to play.

Australian captain Pat Cummins confirmed two changes to the squad, with seamer Scott Boland expected to replace the injured Josh Hazlewood.

Teen opener Sam Konstas had already been locked in to make his debut as a replacement for Nathan McSweeney.

Konstas, 19, becomes Australia's youngest Test debutant since Cummins took the field against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2011.

Australia XI: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (captain), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland

India Probably XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy/Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.
