Cricket will be making a comeback to India after a long time due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As this will be India’s first bilateral series at home since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently BCCI has announced just 3 venues for the whole tour in order to reduce the transportation involved between each match. Decision regarding whether to let spectators inside the stadium or not has not been taken yet.
