Amidst all the concerns of the pandemic and the financial losses of the cricket boards, finally, India tour of Australia 2020-21 is confirmed and the full schedule for the T20I, Test and ODI series is announced.

After the T20I series, there is a likelihood of the playing of the much anticipated T20 World Cup in Australia. But we have to wait for the official confirmation on the same. The chances of the postponement of the T20 World Cup due to the pandemic cannot be denied. But if it does happen, it will be nicely sandwiched between Australia vs India T20I series and the Test series.
“While acknowledging the difficulty in navigating a global pandemic, we are nonetheless encouraged by the progress Australia is making in combating the coronavirus and the positive impact that is having on our ability to host an exciting summer of cricket in 2020-21,” Kevin Roberts, Cricket Australia CEO, said in a statement, as per the site cricket.com.au.
“We know that circumstances or events beyond our control could mean that the final schedule potentially may look different to the one released today, but we’ll be doing everything we can to get as much international cricket in as possible this summer.
“We will communicate any changes to the schedule if or when they are required.”
Kevin Roberts further said, “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. These are in addition to the scheduled men’s Test against Afghanistan and a T20 series against West Indies.”

The second Test which will be played at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide will be a day/night Test and will be played with the pink ball. This will be the first time India and Australia will play a day-night Test.
It will be interesting to see if Australia manages to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar trophy which India had won the last time or if Virat Kohli and company make their grip on the trophy even tighter.
