Cricket Australia (CA) on Tuesday confirmed that the Sydney Cricket Ground will go ahead as the venue for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia. The first Test of the New Year in Australia has become an annual event with the 'Pink Test' in memory of Glenn McGrath's wife Jane, who died of Breast Cancer. In a statement, the former Australian fast-bowler said, "We are thrilled the Vodafone Pink Test will still take place at the SCG. It is the home of the Pink Test and the spirit and support of the crowd at the SCG have become a huge part of the Pink Test atmosphere over the past 12 years." The third Test between India and Australia will start from January 7 at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground, with the series nicely poised at 1-1.
