BCCI Finalises Venues of Australia's Tour of India

New Delhi: The venues of the seven-match ODI series between India and Australia, which will be played between October 25 and November 11, have been finalised by the BCCI's tournament and fixture committee on Wednesday.

Guwahati, Mumbai, Jaipur, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Mohali and Nagpur will be hosting the seven ODIs.

Australia will be touring India just after the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa.

However, the fixtures for Sri Lanka's tour of India and the tri-series in September between Sri Lanka, India and New Zealand will be finalised in August at the BCCI working committee meeting.

Sri Lanka is scheduled to tour India for three Tests and five ODIs soon after Australia's India tour.

Guwahati and Delhi missed out on fixtures during India's previous home ODI series, with England opting to return home after the Mumbai terror attacks last November. The two cities were scheduled to host the last two games of the seven-match series but England flew back soon after the fifth match at Cuttack.

However, they returned for the two-Test series that began on December 11. Mumbai was to host the second Test but lost out due to the changed security situation.

The panel for the 2009-10 domestic season also decided that the Duleep Trophy would continue to be played on a knockout basis, along with the revival of the inter-state Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 Trophy. The inter-state two-day women's tournament will not feature this year, as only one-dayers and Twenty20 matches have been scheduled in women's cricket.
