India women’s team tour of Australia: Series delayed; all matches to be played at Queensland

The Indian team, consisting of 22 members along with support staff, chief selector Neetu David and panel member V Kalpana, will leave for Australia from Bengaluru later on Sunday and serve a mandatory quarantine till September 13.  

The entire multi-format series in the Indian women's team tour of Australia will now be played in the state of Queensland due to the restrictions caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country. The change is subject to final approval for the Indian team's quarantine in Brisbane. It is also reported that the start of the series will be delayed by two days. "After the quarantine, the Indians will play a practice match in Brisbane on September 18. It is understood that the BCCI had asked for the warm-up game and multiple training sessions ahead of it (series) following completion of quarantine, based on their takeaways from India's tour of UK earlier this year, when there were no tour games, which affected the team's preparations," said a report by ESPNCricinfo.
