There is a lot of excitement around Australia’s upcoming Test series against India. The reigning World Test Champions will host India in five Test matches, slated to get underway on November 22 in Perth.

India have won the last two Test series Down Under, while they have held onto the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy since March 2017.

With three months left for the highly-anticipated series, Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood has said that they are determined to beat India at home as that's the only one box which is left to be ticked off by them.

"There are quite a few players who have never beaten India in a Test series. It's quite astounding to say that. That's one we need to tick off, definitely, in particular at home - we should pretty much win every series here at home,” Hazlewood quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

“That last series we obviously bowled them out for 36 in Adelaide and we thought here we go, (we are) back at home (and) confident on these grounds. People say we played India B in that last Test, but they can sometimes be stronger than the best team. They've got unbelievable depth in all formats and we are starting to see that now," he added.

Hazlewood, who will be part of Australia's upcoming white-ball tour of the United Kingdom, also expressed his desire to play the World Test Championship final at Lord's in June 2025 after missing last year's final, where his side defeated India at The Oval to clinch the title.

"It's always in the background, we have the table up (to see) where we are sitting and what we need to tick off. For me, it's a big one because I didn't get to play the last one in England so that's a burning one for me," the pacer stated.
