"There's no change in the tour itinerary. Bangalore is to host the opening Test from October 9-13 after the Australians start the tour with a four-day warm-up tie against a select India XI at Hyderabad from October 2-5," Cricket Board sources said on Wednesday.
The Australians are set to land in India on September 29. The second, third and fourth Tests of the rubber are to be played at Mohali (Oct 17-21), Delhi (Oct 29-Nov 2) and Nagpur (Nov 6-10).
Asked about the big gap between the second and third Test, the sources said that this would be utilised by the visitors to give a break to their players.
"They are not scheduled to play another practice tie," they added.
