    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mumbai, Jan 13:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;The legendary Shane Warne has called for a five-match Test series between Australia and India next season with the Adelaide D\/N Test also slotted in, on a day India skipper Virat Kohli said the team is open to playing pink ball Test Down Under.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India are scheduled to play four Tests and three ODIs in Australia later this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India had refused to play a Day-Night Test against Australia in their backyard when they last toured the country in 2018-19 but skipper Kohli on Monday made it clear that his side is &quot;absolutely open&quot; to play pink ball Test in their next tour Down Under.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;ve said this before - but how good would a five-Test match series between Australia &amp; India be next season. Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide D\/N, Melbourne and Sydney. I hope both the BCCI &amp; CA make it happen. Scheduling is not an excuse,&quot; Warne said in a tweet tagging both the country&#39;s cricket bodies, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and India and Australia captains Kohli and Tim Paine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India and Australia will lock horns in a three-match ODI series starting here on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Look we played the day-night Test here, we were pretty happy with how it went and it has become a very exciting feature of any Test series and we are absolutely up to playing day-night Tests,&quot; Kohli told reporters ahead of the first ODI of the three-match series against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We are absolutely up for the challenge and whether its Gabba, Perth doesn&#39;t matter to us. We do have the skillsets now to compete against anyone in the world anywhere in any format of the game,&quot; Kohli added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, Warne&#39;s long time colleague and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes Team India will be keen to &quot;redeem themselves&quot; but Aaron Finch&#39;s men will be able to beat the hosts in the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Australia will be full of confidence after an excellent World Cup and a great summer of Test cricket but India will be keen to redeem themselves from the last ODI series loss against Australia. Prediction: 2-1 Australia,&quot; Ponting said on Twitter during a Q&amp;A session with the fans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>\r\nFor clarifications\/queries, please contact IANS NEWS DESK at<\/p>\r\n",
