The exchange programme between MRF Pace Foundation and Australia began in 1992 and the programme had been paused in the last three years because of the Covid-19 outbreak.

24-year-old Sakariya broke through the ranks while representing Rajasthan Royals in the 2021 IPL. On the basis of his IPL exploits, he represented India in an ODI and two T20Is. 

Meanwhile, Mukesh Choudhary had an impressive IPL this season while representing Chennai Super Kings, picking up 16 wickets in 13 games.
