Australia vs India Boxing Day Test to stay in Melbourne if crowds are allowed: Cricket Australia

Melbourne: The iconic MCG will not lose out on hosting India for the Boxing Day Test if crowds are allowed inside the stadium, Cricket Australia (CA) interim chief executive Nick Hockley said on Saturday.

"All the restrictions that are ongoing, we are just hopeful that they take very quick effect and we get back on top of the situation and people can get out and about, we can get back to crowds and get back to live events", Hockley said.

"We're in really constructive discussions with the BCCI and the government to make sure we get all the travel exemptions for India to come," he said.
