Team India will resume their international action with the Australia tour, slated to get underway from November. The much-anticipated tour, alike last time, will see wives and girlfriends of Indian cricketers accompanying them. A few Indian cricketers have requested the board for the same.
The board has informally communicated to the Indian players that they can carry their wives along. The board has also taken their passport details ahead of the long grueling tour to Australia. “A few Indian players had requested us to allow family because some of them didn’t bring their wives to UAE,” a BCCI official said. “We have informally informed players that they can take their families. Their families passport details have been taken,” a BCCI official told The Indian Express.
Team India to depart from Sydney from UAE
Cricket Australia confirmed the schedule for the India tour on Wednesday. The grueling tour will get underway with the ODI series, starting from November 27 followed with the three-T20 which starts from December 4. The traditional Border-Gavaskar series will start from December 17 with the Day-Night Test.
The Indian contingent along with the coaching staffs are set to depart for Sydney from Dubai. Ravi Shastri-led coaching staffs along with Hanuma Vihari and Cheteshwar Pujara have already arrived in Dubai.
India’s tour Down Under is the most-anticipated series’ for Cricket Australia after the pandemic situation has hit the normal schedule. The board has made special arrangements for the series, including the bio-bubble, as the traditional four-Test series will help them to recover from the losses due to non-commencement of matches.
The hosting board has been hit by a major turmoil in the recent past, and it continues to worsen. The tussle between the cricket board and Channel 7 has taken another turn as reports suggest that a legal arbitration being pursued by the broadcaster owing to a ‘breach of contract’ by the board for ‘delivering a product not equal in quality to what was delivered the previous year’.
