Cricket Australia announced the schedule for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 which will take place in Australia. The five-test match series will start from 22 November the first game will take place at Perth and the fifth Test will be played in Sydney from January 3. This is the first time since the World Test Championship final that Rohit Sharma & C0. will face Australia. Both India and Australia have a good chance to further cement their place once again in next year's ICC World Test Championship final. Earlier, during Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 series India outclassed the visitors and won the four Test match series by 2-1. Australia have not won a Test series in India since 2004. "This is one of the most highly anticipated summers of cricket in memory with the eyes of the cricket world focussed on the extended Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series and the multiformat Women's Ashes. "Fittingly, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been put on the same footing as The Ashes with a five Test Series for the first time since 1991-92 and we're confident the schedule will maximise viewership and attendances and there will be a tremendous atmosphere in stadiums across the country," Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said. Meanwhile, Australian women will then play three ODIs against India in December meaning the hugely supported Indian men's and women's teams will be in Australia simultaneously. After the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar series, the multiformat women's Ashes will commence with the first ODI on January 12, and the white-ball leg of the series will finish with a January 25 clash at the Adelaide Oval. The Test match at the MCG will be played over four days from January 30 and will be the first women's Test to be played at the iconic ground since 1949. "The first Women's Test match at the MCG since 1949, and the first day-night Test at that historic ground, will be a memorable occasion and another important milestone for women's cricket as we take more games to major stadiums including the SCG and Adelaide Oval. "The women's white-ball series against New Zealand and India and the men's white ball series against Pakistan will provide wonderful entertainment and ensure fans in many locations can get behind our world champion teams," Hockley added. Here is Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 Schedule First Test: November 22-26, Perth Second Test: December 6-10, Adelaide (d/n) Third Test: December 14-18, Brisbane Fourth Test: December 26-30, Melbourne Fifth Test: January 3-7, Sydney.
