Talking Points from the Schedule
There are 22 International Matches that have been announced.
The biggest blunder that the BCCI has made is that the iconic Eden Gardens and Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will not get to host Test Matches against Australia In the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Venues like Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Bengaluru, Ranchi and Hyderabad have gotten more than 1 match each in this home season.
Zimbabwe will get to play their ODI series at Kolkata and Mumbai in front of the best crowds in Indian cricket.
There will be 9 ODIs played and that is the most a format will be played in this season.
