9.50am local time / 4.20m IST: More doubts about Brisbane
Good morning all! Welcome to the second day of the SCG Test. I did not want to start on this note but it now appears that the BCCI has written to Cricket Australia that India will not be able to travel to Brisbane for the final Test of the consecutive series if have to go through another round of hard quarantine. Find all the details here, by Nagraj Gollapudi.
At the SCG, meanwhile, the sun is coming out, says Gnasher who also has an update on Brisbane:
Some news is developing regarding Brisbane, the place for the final Test, with the city going into lockdown three days after a man tested positive for the UK strain of Covid-19. We don’t yet know if that will affect this series – there have been discussions between CA and BCCI about the quarantine situation of the hotel.
