India A vs Australia game shifted to Mohali

The multi-day fixture between India A Women and Australia A Women, scheduled to be played from September 29 to October 2, 2026, has been shifted from Dharamshala to Mohali.

The venue change has been necessitated due to the impact of prolonged rainfall in Dharamshala on the outfield and the prevailing ground conditions. The fixture will now be played at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali from September 29 to October 2, 2026, says a BCCI release.
