SAinIndia2010
South Africa tour of India early in year 2010 was supposed to be a full tour with series of test matches, one day internationals and twenty20s but Indian permier League season 3, which will be played in month of March, has shorted South Africa's visit to India.Initially, Indian cricket board (BCCI) set a schedule of simple 5 ODI series against South Africa but recently when India became the world number 1 test match team in ICC rankings, BCCI changed their mind and asked Cricket South Africa (CSA) to play 3 ODI series and a 2 test match series. Note that India and South Africa are world number 1 and 2 teams in longest format of cricket and whoever wins this 2 test match series, will stabilise themselves at top of ICC chart. The India v South Africa one day internationals will be played at Jaipur, the venue that lost out on India v Sri Lanka due to tussle between BCCI and Rajasthan cricket board, Captain Roop singh stadium in Gwalior and Motera stadium in Ahmedabad. The India v South Africa test matches this year 2010 will be played at VCA stadium in Nagpur which has been on BCCI's favorite venues in last couple of years and at Eden gardens in Kolkata, India's biggest venue that last hosted a test match back in 2007. Note that South Africans also play a two day practice game at Nagpur to acclimatize to conditions before International games.
