The much-awaited series between India and Australia is all set to go ahead in the next three months. Cricket Australia released the schedule for the series on October 28. As per the schedule, the Indian team will play three-match ODI series, three-T20Is, and four test matches.
The majority of Indian players are currently playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in UAE. They will reach Australia on November 12 in a chartered plane from UAE. The whole squad of 32 players will then undergo quarantine for two weeks.
The series will begin with the ODIs as the first match is scheduled to take place on November 27 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The tour will also feature the first-ever day-night Test between the two sides at Adelaide Oval from December 17. The series will conclude with the fourth test match on January 19.
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said, “Across all three formats, Australia and India represents one of the great rivalries in world sport, and we are delighted to welcome Virat Kohli’s outstanding squad to Australian shores this summer. We have worked closely with the BCCI for many months to bring this tour to life, and I cannot speak more highly of the professional, thorough and collaborative manner with which they have approached this tour in these extraordinary and complex times.”
