The first match of the much awaited series of five Test matches between India and Australia (IND vs AUS Test Series) will be played in Perth later this year.
According to the report of ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, the remaining matches of this series will be played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. The report said, “Adelaide will host the second Test while Brisbane will host the third Test.”
The Boxing Day Test match will be held every time in Melbourne, while both teams will play the final match in Sydney on New Year’s Day.
Cricket Australia has not yet released the schedule for the next season but the final announcement can be made by the end of this month. Test series between India and Australia may start in November this year.
This will be the first occasion since 1991-92 when the Indian team will play a five-match Test series in Australia. Earlier in 1991-92, the Indian team had to face a 4-0 defeat.
When India toured Australia in 2018-19, the second Test match was played in Perth which Australia won by 146 runs. Prior to the 2020-21 series between these two countries, the Western Australia cricket team had expressed displeasure over Perth not hosting a single match.
