No sooner after the Champions Trophy gets over in South Africa, Australia will come to India to play seven one-dayers. The fifth match (D/N) of the series will be held in Hyderabad on November 5, and the city is all ready to host some real cricketing action.

"Hyderabad is always ready for any big event," Sridhar said. "The other good news is we are going to hold some Champions league matches before that as well. We had Ranji final also last year.

"Moreover, whatever amount of the construction work is left in the stadium, I hope we will be able to complete it very soon. Once that is finishied the stadium will have a different look. We have got wonderful infrastucture. We have a wonderful gym and swimming-pool to the liking of cricketers."

Shivlal, meanwhile, added, "It has been a long time since Hyderbad got a Test match, but I am sure it won't be for a long.

"We are very serious about that and it will be decided in the forthcoming meeting. Whether it is one-day, T20 or any other match, a good number of people come to watch matches in Hyderabad as the stadium's location is very appropriate. It is very convinient for the people of twin cities.

"Once we get a Test it will become a routine, just like it is in other centres."
