Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that stadium having 40,000 spectator capacity would be allowed to open booking of 25% of its capacity.
“For outdoor venues up to 40,000 spectator capacity, ticketed and seated events will be able to be held in front of a crowd of no more than 25 per cent of capacity under Step 3,” a statement from the Prime Minister said as per the official website, pm.gov.au.
“For outdoor venues of more than 40,000 spectator capacity, further advice is being sought from the AHPPC, with arrangements to be settled by the states and territories on a venue by venue basis,” it added.
India will tour Australia in October:
India is scheduled to have a five-month-long tour where they would play T20I, Test and ODI series from October. The Men in Blue would first play the T20I series which would be played between 11-17 October.
