The last Test has been embroiled in controversy ever since reports from Australia emerged that India are thinking of pulling out of the series after the Sydney Test. The BCCI official revealed that they are in talks with their Australian counterparts.
Under current circumstances, quarantine rules will restrict the players to their hotel rooms, and they wouldn’t be allowed to meet each other in the hotel premises. Even during match day, players will return to their rooms straight from the cricket ground.
Why are India being subjected to this hard quarantine?
Queensland state officials announced a new hard lockdown after a cleaner at a quarantine hotel in Brisbane tested positive for the new highly contagious U.K. variant of COVID-19.
Brad Haddin slams India
Meanwhile, former Australia wicket-keeper Brad Haddin decided to take a pot-shot at the Indian team for their reluctance to accept the rules and play at Brisbane.
It remains to be seen whether Cricket Australia would budge on India’s demands or not. As per some reports, the final Test might be played in Sydney but at the moment, it seems like a far-fetched reality. The fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is scheduled to start from 15 January.
