India vs Australia Sydney to host pink-ball Test
Melbourne:
India will be playing their first pink-ball Test on foreign soil against
Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) from January 3-7, 2021 during the
four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy slated to start towards the end of the year.
Cricket Australia on Thursday announced a full international schedule for the 2020-21 summer, underlining the organisation's growing confidence that the season will be able to proceed amid loosening COVID-19 restrictions.
India will begin the defence of the Border-Gavaskar trophy in Brisbane which will host the first Test at the Gabba from December 3-7, followed by second in Adelaide (December 11-15), third in Melbourne (December 26-30) and fourth in Sydney (January 3-7).
Australia have played seven day-night Tests so far and have registered victories in all those matches. India, on the other hand, have played just one pink-ball Test against Bangladesh in Kolkata which they won comprehensively within three days. IANS
