Australia announce open training session at Gabba days after Team India gets mobbed, body shamed in Adelaide
Hindustan TimesAustralia are set to open the doors during their preparations for the third match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. An announcement made by Cricket Australia on social media stated that an open training session will take place for the Australian team on Thursday, December 12, before the commencement of the Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane. The Australian team will use the stadium itself for the open training session, with fans welcomed free-of-charge to come attend the nearly 4-hour long session at a ground that was once considered Australia’s fortress, before the heroics of the Indian team helped them win a decisive match on their previous tour down under. Australia’s decision to host an open training session arrives after the Indian contingent announced that they will no longer be hosting open sessions on the tour in Australia. “You know, the net sessions are very private, and this was the first time ever I saw so many people during the nets,” captain Rohit told reporters on the eve of the Adelaide Test.
