Sydney and Canberra are set to host the white-ball leg of India’s tour of Australia after the New South Wales Government allowed the visiting team to train during its mandatory quarantine upon arrival.
ESPNcricinfo on Thursday reported that New South Wales Government and Cricket Australia have struck a deal to allow Indian and Australian players returning from IPL to train in Sydney while quarantining.
The Indian team was initially supposed to land in Brisbane but the Queensland state health authorities did not relax their 14-day quarantine rule to allow Virat Kohli and Co to train during that period.
India are scheduled to play three T20s, three ODIs and four Tests in Australia.
The first two ODIs are set to be held on November 27 and 29 at the Sydney Cricket Ground before final game of the series in Canberra’s Manuka Oval.
The first T20 will also be played in Canberra before the action returns to Sydney for the final two games.
