Sydney, June 14 : Cricket Australia has reinstated the one-day international tri-series this summer with India and Sri Lanka to visit in February.
The 2011-12 summer schedule was released on Tuesday, boasting six Tests against New Zealand and India, two Twenty20 internationals and at least 14 one-day matches in a triangular format, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
It marks the first time in four years there would be an international one-day tri-series in Australia, after the concept was dumped due to lack of interest in matches not featuring the home nation.
A pair of Tests against New Zealand in Brisbane and Hobart will start the summer, before India make their first appearance on these shores since their controversial series in 2007-08.
The Indians will take part in four Tests, including the Boxing Day Test at the MCG and the New Year''s Test at the SCG.
The final Test will be in Adelaide over the Australia Day holiday period.
Sydney''s Olympic Park and the MCG will host two Twenty20 matches before the one-day tri-series begins on February 5, with Brisbane and Adelaide slated to host the finals. (ANI)
