The both teams will square after the semi-final of the 2024 Paris Olympics which was a tightly fought encounter as India has lost 2-3 and would go on to win the bronze medal after defeating Spain.
Meanwhile, Germany lost a hard-fought shootout against Netherlands in the final winning the silver medal.
India has played some very interesting encounters against reigning World Champion Germany in past two years defeating them on a couple of occasions.
Indian coach Craig Fulton has named a big pool of probables with Varun Kumar, Karthi Selvam, and Dipsan Tirkey making a return.
It will be interesting to see how both teams approach the test series.
While it looks like India might field a strong team for the series, German coach Andre Hanning can also spring some surprises with his team selection.
