Perth Stadium is at risk of losing a blockbuster India Test next summer and, if more marquee games are left off the calendar, it could be back to square one with most Test cricket again being played at the ageing WACA Ground.

Some believe that would be a good thing, but it also would show a complete disregard for the comfort and health of fans and spectators.

Western Australia in recent years has been met with searing temperatures for its turn on the Test schedule.

All four days of December's match between Australia and New Zealand at Perth Stadium passed the 40-degree-Celsius mark and the first day of the Test between Australia and India last summer was also close to 40C.

When England came for the Ashes in 2013 during the middle of a WA heatwave, touring journalists were set up in an open-air marquee on a grass bank because the media centre didn't have the capacity to hold them.

But being exposed to the harsh Perth heat caused laptops to overheat and the solution was stick them in the fridge.

Filing a story to deadline to a different time zone is difficult at the best of times, but this made it near impossible.

Perth Stadium move still a work in progress

The ground hasn't changed much since then and still struggles to cope with hosting Test cricket.

As a fan, on a hot day you bake and with minimal shade there are few options for respite.

For many West Australians well-acquainted with their skin cancer specialists, sending cricket fans back to the exposed WACA Ground when you have a state-of-the-art, shaded alternative appears nonsensical.

But Test cricket at the Burswood venue is still a work in progress and in the long-term, more people need to attend to assure its future.

If Adelaide can attract consistent Test crowds of more than 30,000 so can Perth, and the move to Burswood has seen an increase in attendances.

"It is really hard with the stadium. We need to judge on it on the crowds we have had at the WACA Ground and increase from there, and not how we are not filling the stadium," WACA chief executive Christina Matthews said.

"This is a growth period for us leading into the Ashes and gradually building our cricket crowds."

WACA return not the answer to fight for matches

Next summer, Australia plays India in a four-Test series.

Brisbane didn't host the Indians last time they toured and one major city is set to miss out again, but India insists it won't be making any demands when it comes to the schedule.

"Whether it is the Gabba or Perth, it doesn't matter to us," Indian captain Virat Kohli said.

"We have the skill sets as a team to compete against anyone in the world anywhere, whether it is white ball, pink ball or red ball.

"We are absolutely up for it."

The summer after the India series will see England tour Australia in a five-match Ashes series.

But then the battle will be on again to host one of only three Tests against South Africa. The West Indies will also play two Tests in Australia.

As it stands, the only five-match series is the Ashes and that is only played in Australia every four years, which means most summers will see a fight between the states for the higher-drawing nations to play at their venues.

Perth could be left out again in the future, but that doesn't mean the solution is sending cricket back to the WACA Ground.

The game needs room to grow and the fans need to be looked after. Perth Stadium offers that.
