India, apart from playing the regular Tests at Melbourne and Sydney, will play the opening Test in Brisbane, where they have never secured a win. Virat Kohli’s team had avoided the Gabba on the last tour, when India won its first ever Test series on Australian soil.

The second Test is scheduled to take place in Adelaide which is going to be a day-night affair. If all goes according to plan then this will be India’s second ever day night Test and first on foreign soil.

The report also mentions that the BCCI has agreed to play three ODI in Australia in January 2021 and Cricket Australia is in discussions with the Indian board to include two more matches.
