With a cluster of Covid-19 cases emerging in Sydney, there were doubts whether Rohit Sharma would have had to be quarantined in Melbourne upon arrival, but that has been overturned. However, with doubts about the location of the third test, the Indian has been told to stay in Sydney from now on.
A cluster of Covid-19 viruses in Sydney has affected interstate travel in Australia and has now emerged as a threat to disrupt Cricket Australia’s plans to host the third test in Sydney. Although the game has yet to move out of New South Wales, the fact that Melbourne has been kept as a reserve is a sufficient indication. It would have affected Rohit Sharma’s plans as the Indian opener is in quarantine in the port city since he arrived in India, but CA assured the Indian contingent about the clean management of the problem.
Victoria state officials have clarified that anyone arriving in Melbourne after a 14-day quarantine in Sydney does not have to do so in Melbourne again, and in that case, even if Rohit arrives in Melbourne on December 30, they can join. immediately to the team. Previously, the BCCI had asked Cricket Australia to plan for Rohit to arrive early in Melbourne and end his quarantine there, but under the rules, Rohit would have been forced to stay in a hotel room chosen by the Victorian government.
According to the Cricbuzz report, Rohit has been given a two-bedroom apartment with a nice view of the city, where there have been some indoor exercise equipment. CA has done it from a “human” perspective to allow a cricketer who has come from the other side of the world to be part of the long-awaited bilateral series between two nations.
As of now Sydney is the host of the third round, but apart from Melbourne, Cricket Australia has also kept Adelaide as a backup option for another daytime red ball round. But with Sydney reporting just eight new cases after 44,000 tests on Tuesday, it appears Sydney will deem it adequate in time.
