adminSYDNEY. – The first cricket Test between Australia and India will now take place in Adelaide after a major reshuffling of the series following the death last week of Australian batsman Phillip Hughes.
The first Test was supposed to start in Brisbane on Thursday but has been delayed by a week and switched to Adelaide to give grief-stricken players more time to recover with Hughes’ funeral taking place tomorrow.
The Australian and Indian cricket boards considered a range of options in conjunction with the players’ union, including cancelling the Brisbane Test altogether, before opting for a reshuffle. -AFP
