'Wankhede and Kolkata not getting games, it is all a circus' - BCCI gets flak for poor scheduling of BGT 2027 venues
Only the first two games of the BGT 2027 are scheduled to be played at regular Test centres (Nagpur and Chennai).
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced the schedule of its upcoming home season of the men's side. The entire home season includes just one Test series, which also headlines the schedule, as it is going to be the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2027, for which a touring Australian team will be facing the Shubman Gill-led side for five matches, starting in late January.
The first Test of the highly anticipated series between India and Australia will be played at Nagpur's Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha, while the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will be hosting the second fixture. However, the next three games will be played at Guwahati, Ranchi, and Ahmedabad.
The venues for the last three matches of a marquee series like BGT have disappointed the fans, and they have openly displayed their sorrow via their social media channels. Many cricket fans on the internet are of the opinion that a champion team like Australia deserves to play their matches at iconic venues like Wankhede Stadium, Eden Gardens, or the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium instead of the allotted host cities.
Here's how 'X' is reacting to the venues of BGT 2027:
