India tour of Australia 2020: 3-ODI series to begin with the 1st match in Sydney on Nov 27

Cricket Australia on Wednesday confirmed the dates for India's upcoming tour Down Under next month. Team India will play a series of 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is and 4 Tests between November 27, 2020 to January 19, 2021.

The Indian team along with the support staff will arrive in Sydney on November 12, subject to authorisation from Australian border authorities, and will undergo a mandatory quarantine in Sydney prior to the first match of the tour.

The nearly 2-month long tour will begin with the 1st and 2nd ODI in Sydney on November 27 and 29 before moving to Canberra for the final match on December 2 at the Manuka Oval which will also host the first T20I on December 4.

The teams will then head back to Sydney for the final two T20Is on December 6 and 8.

Focus will then shift to the Border-Gavaskar Test series which will begin from the first match at the Adelaide Oval from December 17. The first Test will be a day-night game played with pink balls.

The second Test will proceed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in the traditional Boxing Day slot on Dec 26, with the third test at the SCG from Jan 7.

The fourth Test starts at the Gabba



in Brisbane from Jan 15.

India’s squad will arrive in Sydney on Nov. 12, subject to authorisation from Australian border authorities, and will undergo a mandatory quarantine in Sydney prior to the first match of the tour.

“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,” Nick Hockley, CA interim chief executive, said.

“We would also like to especially thank the NSW Government for allowing players from both teams to safely prepare during quarantine.
