Australia tour of India - Australia taking advantage IPL and CLT20 experience
Australia arrives in India hoping for a hat-trick of ODI series wins here, but are aware that they have arrived with perhaps the least experienced side of the past two decades.
At their first press conference, though, the new captain-coach combination of George Bailey and Steve Rixon stressed on the one advantage previous touring sides lacked: a known with Indian conditions and players, thanks to the T20 phenomenon that is the IPL and CLT20.
Australia's 14-member squad has a combined experience of 627 ODI caps going into the series, less than the combined caps of India's three most experienced cricketers in the squad: MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina.
However, Australia did have five representatives in Sunday's CLT20-2013 final - Shane Watson, James Faulkner, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Coulter-Nile - well experienced players and take an advantage of it.
