India Gain Extra Tour Match

Saturday, July 19 2003

Several changes have been made to the international and domestic programs for Australian cricket next summer, and India will benefit during their tour with an extra match, Cricket Australia said today. They will play a Queensland XI in a three-day match at Allan Border Field from November 29 to December 1.

As a result of the inclusion of this match, the Indian three-day game against Victoria in Melbourne will now start two days earlier on November 25. The one-day match against the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra has been transferred from December 1 to January 28. India's other tour match, a three-day clash against Australia A in Hobart (December 19-21), remains unchanged.
