The Indian team does not want to go to Brisbane to play the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar series. Because after going to Brisbane, the Indian team is being asked to stay in quarantine on relaxed terms. At the end of the series in this long tour, the Indian team management is not in that quarantine. Meanwhile, Australia does not want to play two consecutive Tests in Sydney. So the smoke has been created with the venue of the last test of the series.
Queensland is facing a severe lockdown due to increased corona outbreaks. Going to Brisbane so Indian cricketers can't go out of the field, from the hotel. However, the Indian team management says that after 14 days of quarantine, the Indian team will be considered as the locals. There will be bio bubbles, but it will not be harsh. Now Australia is offering new house arrest conditions.
A source in the Indian board told CricketBuzz, "Look, we quarantined Dubai for 14 days before we came to Australia, we were locked in a hotel ground for 14 days. All in all, we are in Quantine for a month. It is not possible for us to quarantine anew. If we have to stay in a hotel in Brisbane, we don't want to go there. Instead, the last test of the series should be held somewhere else.
According to sources, the Indian Cricket Board has been fully supporting Cricket Australia every step of the way in the series. Their bio-bubble, complying with protocol. After some time they were supposed to be considered as Australians. But that is not being done. They have to be quarantined in Sydney. Then go to Brisbane and it is not possible again. In fact, the cricketers have been in lockdown for six months. One of the two teams was India, none of whom were attacked by Corona. It was not easy for the cricketers. It is not possible for them to quarantine again.
Meanwhile, Aussie opener Matthew Wade said he had not yet heard of the Indian team's reluctance to move to Brisbane. However, they want to play a match in Gabba. Because Gabba is the venue for Ajit. Where they do not rate Tests. That's why they have to accept any sacrifice. Also, according to Wade, quarantine is hotel-centric, meaning staying in a hotel, going to the field, playing cricket and coming back to the hotel. He therefore does not see any of the problems in this quarantine.
We have no problem," Wade said. We will play the next Test in Sydney. I will then mentally prepare for the game in Gabba until the schedule changes. It is not in our hands. So I don't think much about it. ' He is also not worried about five Indian cricketers staying out of the hotel in North Wade. What the Indian team is doing is not a matter for him to think about. Rather, he is thinking about handling Indian bowlers. With the return of Will Pukowski and Warner, Wade's opening in the Sydney Test is not certain. He is uncertain even in the team.
