New Year Test will be played only in Sydney
For your information, let us know that every year Cricket Australia hosts the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne on the next day of Christmas and the New Year Test in Sydney after New Year. It is also called the pink test. Earlier it was being said that this year the Australian team will play the Pink Test in Melbourne itself. But now Cricket Australia has made it clear that the New Year Test will be played in Sydney itself, as per the schedule.
Test series is on par with 1-1
Significantly, with India’s victory in the Boxing Day Test, this four-match Test series has become 1-1. Earlier, host Australia beat India by eight wickets in Adelaide. In retaliation for this defeat, India also defeated Australia by eight wickets in Melbourne. The importance of the Sydney Test has increased with the series coming on par. Because now whoever wins this test, their chances of losing the series will end.
