The Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series set to begin on December 17 in Adelaide: Reports

According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will be the first Test series of the Australian summer, will begin on 17 December in Adelaide and will be India's first-ever overseas D/N (Day and Night) pink-ball Test match.

The Governments of Western Australia and South Australia have a mandatory 14-day quarantine for overseas arrivals. 

Limited overs series between Australia and India is likely to begin post-IPL 2020 season. Cricket Australia is looking at the ODI and T20I series to be played in the last week of November and the first week of December, although none of them has been finalised by both the boards.

Australian players have constituted a major portion of overseas players in Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020. A bunch of them are the first-choice players for the Australian Test match side.

Meanwhile, speaking to the reporters in Hobart, the Australian Test captain Tim Paine expressed how difficult it is to come back from a tour during these unprecedented times. “I wouldn’t have thought so, with restrictions coming back into the country.”

The Tasmania-born cricketer believes that the transition from format to format with a limited number of days on the chart would seem like a challenge. “These are guys that have transferred from white-ball to red-ball, from Test cricket to Twenty20 cricket, within a matter of days. It's never been an issue and we wouldn't expect it to be.”
