India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar series to begin with Day-Night Test in Adelaide

The Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia later this year will kick-start with a Day-Night Test at the Adelaide Oval, which will be the first time Virat Kohli's team will play a pink-ball Test on foreign soil.

The day-night Test match will be played between December 17 and 21 while the remaining three Tests will be held in Melbourne (December 26-30), Sydney (January 7-11) and Brisbane (January 15-19).

The Tests will be preceded by the 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is but the scheduled for the limited-overs leg is yet to be confirmed by Cricket Australia.

India had retained the Border-Gavaskar trophy by beating Australia 2-1 in the four-match Test series and clinched the ODIs as well by the same margin on their 2018-19 tour Down Under while the 3-T20I series ended in a 1-1 draw.

The



Indian squads for the white-and-red-ball series are expected to leave for Brisbane immediately after the completing of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 being held in the United Arab Emirates.

The players will kept in a bio-secure environment after their mandatory quarantine period upon arrival in Australia. India's tour is likely to begin with the T20Is from November 27 followed by the ODI series from December 4, according to reports.

The above mentioned dates for the limited-overs leg are only tentative as Cricket Australia is still waiting for the final nod from the Queensland government to host India.

Queensland government is yet to approve the international arrival and quarantine of Indian and Australian players from the IPL in Brisbane. Anyone flying in to Queensland has to undergo 14-day quarantine.
