SYDNEY: The fourth and final Test of the ongoing series between Australia and India will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane from January 15 to 19, Cricket Australia has confirmed.
Over the last two weeks, there had been doubts over the final Test after reports emerging about Team India expressing their reluctance to travel to Brisbane due to harsher bio-security protocols.
However, CA interim CEO Nick Hockley on Monday confirmed that the Indian team has agreed to travel to Brisbane.
"We have been working closely with Queensland Health to ensure our strong biosecurity plans guarantees the fourth Test at The Gabba is played safely," Hockley said in a statement.
"Throughout the season, we have developed a strong track record for a safe and responsible return to sport thanks to our well-established bio-security protocols, the ongoing support from public health officials and the incredible hard work of so many people across Australian cricket.
Cricket Australia also informed that 50 per cent of the total crowd capacity will be allowed at the Gabba during the Test match. IANS
