The Indian Cricket Board has revised the schedule for upcoming Australia tour. The reports say that the some representatives of Indian Olympic Association had approached to Sports Ministry and requested them to ask BCCI to change their cricket schedule as the dates were clashing with the Commonwealth Games schedule. However, board members say that they had not received any message from ministry. They also did not comment that whether they would further change their schedule or not. The Indian Cricket Board has already been changed their schedule for the same reason but the dates are sill clashing. Reportedly, the dates of first and second test matches with Australia are clashing with the dates of Commonwealth Games which are being held in Delhi, India this year. It seems like board is not in a mood to change their schedule anymore now. It is not like that if they are looking rigid but the fact is that India has to play another series against New Zealand soon after Australia series so the board is not in a mood to take any kind of risk. They don’t want to be tired their players.

India will play its first test against Australia from 1st October in Mohali while their second test will be held in Bangalore from 9th October. Three ODIs will be played after this 2-match test series. The schedule for the New Zealand tour has also been released which includes 3 Tests and 5 ODIs. The first match against New Zealand will be played in Ahmedabad from November 4.
