Cricket Australia in an official statement said that, “Our bio-security and operational teams are closely monitoring the situation and working to put in place the necessary plans to ensure players, coaches and staff are available for upcoming fixtures”.

The statement also said, “CA has always maintained that it would need to be agile as border conditions change and we thank the players, coaches and staff involved for their flexibility and all parties for their support. We will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves and look forward to hosting a safe and successful summer across all formats”.

The Australian red ball captain, Tim Paine and few others are already in isolation after a fresh Coronavirus outbreak happened in Adelaide.
