I'll pin it when it gets closer to the start of the tour, it's still 6 weeks off.

Here's the schedule for the tour.

26th September - 3 day match against Indian Board President's XI at Visakhapatnam
2nd October - 3 day match against India A at Rajkot
8th October - 1st Test at Ahmedabad
16th October - 2nd Test at Mohali

No ODIs are on the official schedule but I assume there will be some. Anyone know more about this?

Yea, me too but I don't think so I will be able to watch the series because no channel here is going to broadcast. FOX Sports Middle East might broadcast but my susbcripition is over.

Iniyan, can I watch the series on DD Sports? :unsure:

The whole of the second day's play was washed out by rain so Indian Board's President XI still remain on 23/0 coming into the final day of play.

Unsurprsingly, India's first match of their tour finished in a draw after most of the first day and the entire second day were washed out.

Result

Indian Board Presidents XI 1st Innings: 227/1 (Chopra 103 not out)

And thats it.

Match drawn.
