The Australian government's decision to keep its border closed for the next six months due to the corona virus (COVID-19) epidemic may have an impact on future visits to India. According to the Future Tour Program (FTP), India has to visit Australia later this year.
India's Australian tour was to begin with the T20 series in October and end with the Test series in December. In the meantime, the T20 World Cup is to start from October 18, but due to the global health crisis, its future has also been clouded with uncertainty.
In Australia, more than 2000 people have been infected with Kovid-19 while 16 people have died, due to which the government has closed the borders of the country. Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI may have to come up with an alternative plan due to this epidemic.
However, the BCCI is yet to take a final decision on this phase of the IPL and the international calendar is also a matter of concern as it includes Sri Lanka (ODIs and T20s), Zimbabwe tour, Asia Cup (T20) and England against England The cricket series of the ball is included.
The six-month travel ban means that no team will be allowed to enter Australia for the upcoming tournament, which includes the T20 World Cup and Indian team tour.
