The Indian women’s cricket team’s mixed tour of Australia, which includes a one-off Test, three One-day Internationals and an equal number of T20I, could see a possible alteration due to the evolving Covid-19 situation and lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne besides some states imposing border restrictions.
According to the officials, the series is scheduled to commence on September 19 with the first ODI at North Sydney Oval before matches in Melbourne and Perth. But even as both countries have announced their squads, Cricket Australia (CA) continues to negotiate with government authorities about the schedule for the upcoming matches.
The report further added that Cricket Australia is currently speaking with government authorities about how, where and when the seven games can be played. As per the Australian government’s Covid-19 protocol, all international arrivals need to quarantine for 14 days. Also, Australian players from New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria too would need to quarantine before the series if the matches are scheduled for another state.
