Cricket Australia boss Nick Hockley has rejected the push to immediately scrap the Sydney and Hobart Tests in favour of two more matches in Melbourne.
Cricket Australia is adamant that the series can continue as planned but there are significant grounds for concern. In that case, four members of India’s backroom staff had contracted the virus amid fears of a bigger outbreak.“We just need to remain calm and get the facts,” the defiant CA boss told reporters on Monday.“Everyone needs to follow the medical advice. On that basis, we keep going. We’ve been working on the plans for this tour for over six months.
A full-scale outbreak would no doubt spell a disaster for CA and the series, with each Test a multi-million dollar product for the sport.
