Australia and India prepare for the third Test at the Gabba, with Australia's Josh Hazlewood potentially returning. India seek to repeat their historic 2021 victory at the Gabba, while Australia aim to solidify their World Test Championship final chances.

The weather forecast predicts a 25% chance of rain on Day 1, which could increase by 15% later on. Days 2 and 3 also have a predicted 25% chance of precipitation. The forecast predicts cloudy skies with "medium chances of showers" during the course of the match. However, incessant rain and thunderstorms are unlikely to prevail.

Josh Hazlewood missed the pink-ball Test in Adelaide against India due to a side strain he suffered during the first Test in Perth. A couple of days ago, the pacer had stated that he will soon get to know if he will be able to get fit in time for the third Test.
