Venue for third Test shifted to Indore from Dharamsala

Mumbai: The third Test of the Mastercard Australia tour of India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, originally scheduled to take place in Dharamsala from March 1 to 5 has now been moved to Indore.

Owing to harsh winter conditions in the region, the outfield lacks sufficient grass density and will need some time to develop fully.

Both teams will train at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium in Nagpur from today. Some India players will train on the centre pitch in the afternoon, and few others have been given a break and allowed to go home. The entire team will gather in Delhi on Tuesday, three days ahead of the match.
