Mumbai, January 2: Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium, which has not hosted a Test match in more than three years, will be venue of one of India’s three Tests against South Africa in the home series scheduled from March 16, the Cricket Board announced on Wednesday.

The other two matches in the March-April rubber will be held at Ahmedabad and Chennai, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said after the Board’s Tours Programmes and Fixtures Committee meeting chaired by President-elect Shashank Manohar.

Green Park, a permanent Test venue, hosted a Test match in November, 2004 against Australia but did not host another because of a dispute with the state government.

Matters got resolved and the half a century old Test venue hosted a ODI during the last visit by Pakistan, on November 11, 2007. It will now play host to a Test match against South Africa again.

The committee also decided that Bangalore, Nagpur, Delhi and Mohali will be the venues for the four-Test series against Australia to be held in October-November.

The exact schedule of the two rubbers would be finalised based on the logistics involved, according to Shah.
