Ending days of speculation, the first Test between India and Australia was on Monday (December 2) rescheduled for December 9 in Adelaide at the adopted home ground of late batsman Phillip Hughes, whose tragic death left the host country devastated. The second Test in Brisbane will start on December 17, followed by Melbourne on December 26 and the final match in Sydney, starting January 6. A two-day tour game featuring a CA XI was cancelled last week, but India might get an opportunity to play a practice match later this week. These changes follow discussions between CA, the Australian Cricketers' Association and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
