Boost for Adelaide test

Cricket: Adelaide’s chances of hosting the first test against India have received a massive boost following the news South Australia’s lockdown is set to be lifted.

Next month’s daynight test had looked in some jeopardy following South Australia’s Covid19 cluster, the state’s chief medical officer admitting this week there was no guarantee the city could host the fixture.

But yesterday’s news of the easing of restrictions from today will go a long way to allaying those concerns over the test starting on December 17. — AAP
