Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2027 Fourth Test Venue Under Review Due to Daylight Concerns
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2027, a five-Test series between India and Australia starting January 21, may see a venue change for the fourth Test originally scheduled in Ranchi from February 19 to 23. Concerns about limited daylight during winter have prompted team management to request the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to reconsider the venue. Alternatives under consideration include Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, and Rajkot, while Guwahati is expected to retain its Test with possible timing adjustments. No official confirmation has been made yet.
