India and Australia will resume their high-voltage rivalry with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series 2023 later this month.
The series between India and Australia, which is also crucial with regard to the World Test Championship (WTC) final, will start on February 9 in Nagpur. The second Test will be played in Delhi followed by the third Test in Dharamsala, before the series concludes in Ahmedabad in March.
