Sydney: Cricket Australia has confirmed 2009-10 will be a three-Test home summer for Ricky Ponting's men with the schedules released for the tours by West Indies. The tour kicks off with the first Test at Brisbane start on November 26, where the third Test begins on December 16.
West Indies back to Australia for five ODI and two Twenty20 games start from February 07 at Melbourne.
It will be a big summer for Hobart's Bellerive Oval, which returns to Test duty having hosted only two five-day encounters over the past seven seasons, and is holding its first non-November Test in 20 years. The venue is also expected to have floodlights in place by the start of the summer and has been rewarded with its first Twenty20 international, against West Indies on February 21.
"The last time Australia played Pakistan in Hobart it was a thrilling encounter that saw a magnificent partnership between Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist steer Australia to victory on the final day," James Sutherland, Cricket Australia's CEO, said. "It was a fine example of Test cricket.
"Hobart will also host their first KFC Twenty20 International against the West Indies in February and we expect to see a packed house at Bellerive. Twenty20 cricket continues to thrive and Tasmanian fans will be looking forward to their first taste of the format at international level."
