The Indian platoon could travel Australia doubly in the coming Future tenures Programme( FTP) cycle from 2024- 2032, with the number of Tests per series increased from the being four to five. According to a report in the Age,
Cricket Australia( CA) has" lately informed a range of broadcasters, both domestic and transnational, of the fact that it has secured two full Test tenures by each of India and England over the coming FTP, with India's tenures increased from four to five- match series."
The last two Test tenures of Australia, which comprised four matches in each series, were won by India, triumphs that went down in history as two of their topmost.
The current ICC FTP, running from 2018 to 2023, ends with the men's 50- over ICC World Cup, to be played in India in October- November coming time.
The full FTP is likely to be formally blazoned latterly this month, around the ICC's periodic meeting in Birmingham on July 25 and 26.
India has always been a huge draw for Australian crowds more so in recent times, with the last four- match series Down Under giving the financially floundering CA a major boost with an anticipated profit of 300 million Australian bones
Seasons without Test- match visits by England or India generally mean a reduction in crowds and broadcast cult part of the reason why CA itself works on amulti-year fiscal model to balance oscillations in the transnational schedule," said the report in the leading Australian diurnal.
It didn't come as a surprise when CA, at the end of the rubber, expressed gratefulness to the BCCI for the" offerings" it made to insure a smooth conduct of what proved to be an grand contest.
An alternate- string Indian platoon, led admirably by Ajinkya Rahane, brazened all odds to master a full- strength Australia side by three lattices at" fort" Gabba to win the series 2- 1 and retain the Border- Gavaskar jewel.
CA conceded the part played by the Sourav Ganguly- led BCCI in successfully completing the stint amid the COVID- 19 epidemic.
