The chief of Cricket Australia has suggested that an Ashes Test match could be played in India, a move that would be unprecedented for the historic England‑Australia series.
In a recent statement, the chief of Cricket Australia floated the idea of hosting an Ashes Test match in India.
The suggestion marks a departure from the traditional venues of the series, which have historically taken place in England and Australia.
While no official decision has been announced, the proposal has sparked discussion among cricketing circles about the feasibility and potential benefits of such a move.
If realized, it would be the first time the Ashes series is played outside the two nations that contest it.
The idea reflects a growing trend of expanding cricket's global footprint and exploring new markets for the sport.
