New Year's Test: India, Australia stay in Sydney reduced due to coronavirus threat, to reach on January 4

India Today  

The Indian and Australian players' itinerary has been revised a little due to the spike of COVID cases in Sydney and therefore, the two teams will now travel to the city only on January 4 and start their preparations for the third Test which begins from January 7. The players were scheduled to reach Sydney on December 31 for the New Year's Test but a fresh spike in coronavirus cases in the city has forced organisers to keep the Aussies and Indians in Melbourne for a few extra days. "We have made the decision to keep the New Year’s Test at the SCG, which has a wonderful recent history of hosting the Pink Test and Jane McGrath Day on the third day of play. CA made the decision after confirming that the players and staff would be able to travel from New South Wales to Queensland without the requirement of a hard quarantine ahead of fourth Test in Brisbane. The four-match series stands level at 1-1 after India, led by vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane in Virat Kohli's absence, bounced back in Melbourne to beat Australia by 8 wickets in the second Test inside 4 days on Tuesday.
