Team India's immediate assignment after the conclusion of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will be a high-octane T20I series against Australia.
Australia, who played a three-match ODI series in October, will play the second leg of their India tour and take on hosts in a five-match series starting November 23.
Despite the travel itinerary being announced fixed, authorities have changed the venue for the fifth and final T20I from Hyderabad to Bangalore. As reported by Sportstar, the security services will be 'under immense pressure' as state elections will also be taking place between November 30 and December 3.
The final T20I is scheduled for December 3, which is also the result day, owing to which the police department refused Hyderabad Cricket Association hosting permission as quoted by a senior administrator.
Here's what HCA official said
“The police department didn’t give us the requisite permission to host the match as on that day the counting will happen. It’s really unfortunate, but we can’t do much. We had multiple meetings with the BCCI and requested them for a change in schedule.
We could have hosted on December 4, but the board said that the tickets to Australia are already booked and they cannot reschedule the game. Australia will be taking a morning flight to New Delhi on December 4 and will then head to their country”
The first T20I will be played at Vishakapatnam, with Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati and Nagpur hosting the second, third and fourth matches, respectively.
