      <title>Drop-in pitch installed at Perth stadium for Pakistan-Australia series</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perth Stadium is gearing up for an exciting summer of cricket as it has installed a drop-in pitch for the upcoming white-ball series between Pakistan and Australia.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The series will kick off on November 4 with an ODI at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), followed by the third ODI at Perth on November 10.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This match will mark the first of the season at Perth Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The series will feature six matches in total, including a three-match T20I series starting on November 14.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following this series, Perth Stadium will also host a Test match against India as part of the Border-Gavaskar series from November 22-26, along with five home games for the Perth Scorchers during the Big Bash League.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installation of the drop-in pitch was a meticulous process, involving a 30-meter-long, 40-tonne transport vehicle specifically designed for cricket wickets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This equipment is unique to Western Australia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cricket Australia has announced a 14-member squad for the ODI series against Pakistan, with notable absences due to paternity leave for key players Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They will be replaced by Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short, who are expected to open the innings together.&lt;/p&gt;
