Cricket News: Australian team leaves for England for T20 & ODI series

Aaron Finch-led white-ball cricket team will be the first Australian national sporting team to head abroad following the coronavirus pandemic as the ODI and T20 squad of twenty-one players prepare to leave for England on Sunday. Finch spoke about the difficult conditions and protocols that the players have followed so far whilst training in their respective states. Finch also praised the career of former India captain MS Dhoni who last week decided to quit international cricket. Australia coach Justin Langer reflected on the adjustments that players have been forced to make in training and whilst playing. Australia are scheduled to play three one-day international matches and three T20 internationals against England in September. The players have been in safe 'bubbles' while going through their preparation in Australia and will continue to be in 'bio-secure' bubble after they arrive in England.
