India will play just 4 Tests in 2013?

Don't we play SA in Nov-Dec 2013 in SA? 3 tests on that one as per FTP with 7 ODIs / 2T20s in Jan 2014. BCCI will surely slot in a series in August like they did vs NZ last year. And perhaps break that 7 ODI 3 T20s tour in October '13 into a 2 tests, 3 ODIs series.

Pakistan has offered to play their home series in India. Think it will depend on diplomatic situation, but think a series with Pakistan will be worked out if the government gives the go ahead. And SA tests will begin in 2013 too.

Actually against SA the series starts with Tests everytime, so if we go in November 3 tests will all probably begin in 2013. So that's 7. And then Probably we'll get 3 against Srilanka somewhere and also a series against Pak is to be worked out in August. Don't freaking know why Australia is coming over to play 7 pointless ODI's and Some T20's in october though. And why we are going to West Indies in June to play a tri series after the Champions trophy but no tests.

Aussies have split their ODI leg of the tour, they play tests right now and ODIs later in the year. All this to ensure IPL isn't delayed and starts in 1st week of April as planned. As for that tri series in WI, thats BCCI way of rewarding WI and SL for cancelling their scheduled series in April- May for the IPL. IIRC we also play a tri series in SL after that tri series in WI, again BCCI's reward for being loyal.

Freaking BCCI. They are probably avoiding away tests after recent form and debacles too.

lol we play maximum number of Away games. In any case, after these 4 tests vs Aus, we hardly play at home till the 2015 WC. 3 tests in SA in Nov-Dec '13, 3 in NZ in Feb-Mar '14, 5 in England in Ju;-Aug '14, 4 in Aus before the WC in Dec 13-Jan '14..in between just a 3 test series at home vs WI in Oct-Nov '14

I said in 2013........ Not 2014/15 brother. And those series you mentioned are in FTP anyway. Can't be avoided now. They are organizing only ODI series outside FTP, but not Tests in the available spaces.

And how are they rewarding SL by playing in Windies ? Weird, as they won't get revenue i would have thought. Don't think we are going to SL after WI Tri series too, but to Zimbabwe to play 3 ODI's. After that in August Pak series is scheduled and still up in the air.
