Red ball fixture between India A and Australia A moved to Mohali from Dharamsala

New Delhi: The only red ball fixture between India A Women and Australia A Women beginning on September 29 was on Wednesday moved to Mohali from Dharamsala after the rainy season damaged the outfield in the scenic stadium.

The series comprising three T20s, three one-dayers and one red ball fixture began on September 12. All matches have been played in Mohali across the new and old stadium thus far.

"The Multi-Day fixture between India A Women and Australia A Women, scheduled to be played from September 29 to October 2, 2026, has been shifted from Dharamshala to Mohali.

"The venue change has been necessitated due to the impact of prolonged rainfall in Dharamshala on the outfield and the prevailing ground conditions.

"The fixture will now be played at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali from September 29 to October 2, 2026," said the BCCI in a release.

The Dharamsala outfield was criticised by a few players during the ODI World Cup in 2023 before HPCA fixed the issue. It is one of the few stadiums in India to have a sub air drainage system which makes the outfield ready in 15-20 minutes even after heavy rain.
