New Delhi, Jan 14: The venues for the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia have been revised with the opening Test of the four-match series scheduled to be held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from February 22 to 26, BCCI said on Monday.

 “The venue has staged some unforgettable encounters between the two nations, including the ‘tie’ in September 1986.”
 Earlier, Delhi was scheduled to host the opening match of the series, followed by Mohali, Hyderabad and Chennai.
 However, according to the revised schedule, the second match will be in Hyderabad, followed by Mohali and Delhi.
