India’s National cricket team is ready to experience quarantine to restore a money-spinning Test series against Australia. But still, there was less enthusiastic about this year’s Twenty20 World Cup taking place Down Under.
India is scheduled to contest a four-match Test series in Australia to be played at the end of the year but will need to stay isolated for two weeks under current COVID-19 laws.
BCCBI treasurer Arun Dhumal stated the Test team is willing to make that sacrifice to save the Test series, which cash-strapped Cricket Australia desperately needs to replenish its coffers.
Australia this month deposed India in Test ranking, setting up the series as a blockbuster rivalry.
The series would also generate millions of dollars for Australia struggling during the coronavirus shutdown.
Revenue from the series is so important to Cricket Australia that it has proposed adding a fifth Test, which would mean ditching a one-off Test against Afghanistan in November.
