IND vs AUS 3rd Test shifted to Indore from Dharamsala: The BCCI has taken a big decision amid the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia. Actually, the third Test to be played in Dharamshala from March 01 has been shifted. BCCI gave information about this by tweeting. Now this match will be held at Holkar Stadium in Indore.
The entire outfield including the pitch at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala has been remodeled and no Test of any kind has been held on the pitch so far. Speaking to The Indian Express last Friday, a source said that the non-testing of the pitch is not a major problem but that the ‘small patch near the square’ is yet to be completed and is a cause for concern.
