The first ODI between India and Australia at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai will see the CEOs of Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket join BCCI President Sourav Ganguly as spectators. India are set to play a three-match ODI series at home against Australia, starting Tuesday, January 14.

Apart from Kevin Roberts of CA and NZC’s David White, the top-brass of the BCCI will also join Ganguly in watching the much-awaited series opener between India and Australia. According to report by the TOI, a 20-odd 'VIP' list that will be present on Tuesday at the Wankhede will also include BCCI secretary Jay Shah and treasurer Arun Dhumal amongst top dignitaries of world cricket administration.

The top officials of the Indian board were already in Mumbai for the BCCI awards, which was held on January 12. Ahead of the first ODI, on Monday, the BCCI trio held a meeting in which they discussed a multitude of subjects, including the feasibility of India playing a day/night Test in Australia that has been the talk of the season. They also reportedly discussed a 'Super Series'-an ODI competition involving India, Australia, England plus and another team between New Zealand and South Africa.

While India and Australia are both keen on playing a day-night Test later this year, it is learned that the CA board will avoid scheduling any cricket during the IPL depending on the former.
