Cricket Australia reveals complete schedule of India's tour of Australia 2020-21, T20I series begin from Oct 11

Cricket Australia (CA) on Thursday confirmed its international fixtures for the 2020-21 season which involves 3 T20Is, 4 Tests and 3 ODIs against India men's cricket team between October 11 and January 17.

Cricket Australia announced the fixtures after saying it is confident of hosting a safe and successful summer which promises to thrill cricket fans across the globe who are starved of live action due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"The anticipated arrival of superpower India to play the Australian men’s teams across all formats, as well as the return of Australia’s all-conquering women’s team, are among the highlights scheduled for this summer," the CA release said.

While they begin their campaign



against Zimbabwe in a three-ODI contest, the highlight of the summer, besides the still-uncertain World T20, remains the tour of India for three T20Is, four Tests and finally three ODIs. 

"We are working closely with the BCCI to deliver the eagerly anticipated men's and women's tours, and we are looking forward to staging the important series against both the men's and women's New Zealand sides," Roberts said.

The tour begins with the three T20 internationals with the opener in Gabba on October 11. The second and the third will be played on October 14 in Canberra and October 17 at the Adelaide Oval, respectively. This series will be played right before the World T20 which begin from October 18 onwards to November 15.
