Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Third Test moved from Dharamshala to Indore, to start on March 1

NEW DELHI: The third Test between India and Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series has been shifted from Dharamshala’s HPCA Stadium to Holkar Stadium in Indore, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Monday. The third Test is slated to take place from March 1 to March 5.

“Owing to harsh winter conditions in the region, the outfield lacks sufficient grass density and will need some time to develop fully,” the BCCI said in a statement on Monday.

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) had relaid the entire outfield, including the pitch. The issues with the relaid pitch at the HPCA Stadium have forced the game to be moved. Dharamshala hosted its only Test in 2017. Incidentally, that game too was played between India and Australia.
