Australia’s Test summer is scheduled to begin with an inaugural showdown with Afghanistan in Perth with the Gabba to host the opening match of a highly anticipated four-Test Border-Gavaskar Series.

Cricket Australia will on Friday announce the full men’s and women’s international schedule for the 2020-21 summer, underlining the growing confidence the season will be able to proceed amid loosening COVID-19 restrictions. But the governing body will reserve the right to change the schedule given the uncertainty surrounding the global coronavirus pandemic.

Afghanistan and Australia are due to meet for the first time in Test cricket at the Perth Stadium, with the match scheduled to be a day-night affair, from November 21.

Australia will then begin their bid to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar trophy at their Gabba fortress on December 3 after the Brisbane venue edged out Western Australia for the coveted fixture.
