The Covid-19 crisis had led to suspension of events but now the sporting world is aiming to resume the tournaments that were put on hold. The Bundesliga season has already started and Premier League is set to resume from June 17.
Cricket Australia also announced the fixtures after saying it is confident of hosting a safe and successful summer which promises to thrill cricket fans across the globe who are starved of live-action due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
India will begin their tour of Australia in October as they are scheduled to play a 3-match T20I series between October 11 and 17.
The much-anticipated 4-Test series will kickstart from December 3, as reported by India Today on Wednesday. Brisbane will host the series opener while Adelaide will host the 2nd Test, which will be a day-night affair with the pink balll.
