Here we go.. AUS vs IND schedule is ready to roll including one D/N Test.
Meanwhile Western Australia is really pissed off as they didn't get any test match to host in this test series, CA already set for everything anyway.
Better than the Gabba in every way: WA fuming after India series snub

Western Australian cricket chief Christina Matthews says it is astounding Perth has been snubbed for hosting one of Australias four Tests against India this summer, declaring Perth Stadium is superior to the Gabba in every facet.
Cricket Australia will on Friday confirm dates for the marquee India tour, with the Gabba locked in to host the first Test on December 3 before a day-night clash in Adelaide and the traditional Boxing Day and New Years fixtures in Melbourne and Sydney.

There is a gap between the T20I series and the test series, and I guess they have kept it so, to accommodate the T20 World Cup. So the BCCI is indirectly hinting that the T20 World Cup would go ahead as planned in November 2020 and the IPL 2020 would be postponed (or rather cancelled). It is not practical for the players (both Indian and Australian) to travel from Australia to India in mid-October (for the IPL) and then return again for the test series.
So this fixture list answers a lot of our questions.
All this said, I am disappointed that the Optus Stadium in Peth has been overlooked for hosting test matches. I would say that it is the best stadium in all of Australia where cricket matches can be hosted. Really disappointed.
