Indore: The third Test between India and Australia has been shifted to Indore from Dharamsala due to unfit playing conditions, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed on Monday.

"The third Test of the Mastercard Australia tour of India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, originally scheduled to take place at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala from 1st to 5th March has now been moved to Holkar Stadium, Indore," BCCI said in a statement.

"Owing to harsh winter conditions in the region, the outfield lacks sufficient grass density and will need some time to develop fully," read the statement.

The second Test match will be played in Delhi from Feb 17 to 21.

India defeated Australia in the opening Test match to take 1-0 lead in the series.
