Australia, India to land in Sydney just 72 hours before New Year’s Test – Sydney Morning Herald
Players are being given extra days to enjoy life in the coronavirus-free city before they are subjected to more onerous bubble protocols in Sydney and Brisbane.
Teams usually travel on New Year’s Eve to commence preparations for the Sydney Test, which is starting later than usual this summer, but that has been delayed until January 4.
They will instead train in Melbourne this weekend, giving them just two days to adjust to conditions at the traditionally spin-friendly SCG.
The Australian cricket team will be allowed into Queensland directly from Sydney to play their Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane if COVID bubble rules are applied.Credit:Getty Images…
