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.
