Queensland to host Commonwealth Bank Women’s Series against India

Queensland will host the Commonwealth Bank Women’s Series against India with Cricket Australia announcing the multi-format series schedule change amidst the challenges posed by state border restrictions and the COVID pandemic.

The three One-Day Internationals will start in Mackay on September 21, with the day-night Test and three T20 Internationals to be played at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.

Players based in New South Wales and Victoria, as well as the Indian team will commence a two-week quarantine period in Brisbane on Monday, with the remainder of the Australian squad to assemble closer to the start of the series.

The series will kick off the international summer of cricket ahead of a highly anticipated men’s and women’s Ashes Series against England.

The first ODI in Mackay will give Meg Lanning’s side the opportunity to extend their record-breaking 24-game ODI winning streak, while it also marks the first time the two sides have met since Australia’s emphatic ICC Women’s T20 World Cup win in front of 86,174 fans at the MCG.

Tickets to the updated schedule will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday September 14 at 3pm through Ticketek.

Fans with tickets to previously scheduled matches at North Sydney Oval, Junction Oval or the WACA will be communicated with directly from Ticketek, with tickets to be refunded in full.
