Indian team may have to play 5 match Test series on Australian tour, this is the reason

Brisbane, Ep. The Indian team is to tour Australia at the end of 2020, where a 4-match Test series is to be held between the two countries, but the Australian Cricket Board wants the series to be of 5 matches. In such a situation, the possibility of a series of five Test matches between the two countries is increasing, as cricket officials are considering to compensate for the time lost due to corona virus, so that money can also be earned.

Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive Kevin Roberts has said that all options will be considered for hosting India in December 2020 and January 2021, as Cricket Australia earns a large amount ($ 300 million) from this series. Even the Australian Cricket Board may force the Indian team to play this tour in one place due to the corona virus. This test series is also part of the ICC World Test Championship.

Australia is also planning for the ICC T20 World Cup to be held from October 18 to November 15 this year. Kevin Roberts has said, "If you consider the possibility of an international season being particularly affected, we could lose millions of dollars of revenue." At the same time, due to the corona virus epidemic, the Australian government closed all sports leagues and sealed the country's borders as well as banned travel.

Let us know that after a gap between Australia and India, a 4-match Test series is going on, but the board administration of the two countries wants to increase this rivalry further. However, Australia's oldest and fiercest rivalry is the Ashes series against England, played in five Tests. Roberts said that relations between the Australian authorities and the Board of Control for Cricket in India are strong, and both sides are committed to a five-Test series in the future.
