Shane Warne calls for five Test match India-Australia series

Mumbai: The legendary Shane Warne has called for a five-match Test series between Australia and India next season with the Adelaide D/N Test also slotted in, on a day India skipper Virat Kohli said the team is open to playing pink ball Test Down Under. India are scheduled to play four Tests and three ODIs in Australia later this year. India had refused to play a Day-Night Test against Australia in their backyard when they last toured the country in 2018-19 but skipper Kohli on Monday made it clear that his side is “absolutely open” to play pink ball Test in their next tour Down Under.

“I’ve said this before - but how good would a five-Test match series between Australia & India be next season. Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide D/N, Melbourne and Sydney. I hope both the BCCI & CA make it happen. Scheduling is not an excuse,” Warne said in a tweet tagging both the country’s cricket bodies, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and India and Australia captains Kohli and Tim Paine. IANS
