“Across all three formats, Australia and India represents one of the great rivalries in world sport and we are delighted to welcome Virat Kohlis outstanding squad to Australian shores this summer,” Nick Hockley, CA interim chief executive, said.
“We would also like to especially thank the NSW Government for allowing players from both teams to safely prepare during quarantine.”
Cricket Australia said it was working with the MCG and the local government on safely hosting spectators for the Boxing Day test in Melbourne, with Australia's second-biggest city released from a hard lockdown on Wednesday.
