Melbourne: Former Australian cricketer and spin legend Shane Warne has urged Cricket Australia(CA) to keep the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for the traditional ‘Boxing Day’ Test match against India later this year despite the rise of COVID 19 cases.
“Cricket is the 2nd biggest sport in the world behind soccer(fact) & the biggest day on the Aust sporting calendar is the Boxing Day test. We must try & do everything possible to keep it at the MCG this year. FYI- The Melb Cup & the AFL GF are the next biggest events in Aust !,” Shane wrote on his Twitter handle.

According to the schedule released by CA in May, Melbourne was previously allotted for the Boxing Day, but the rising cases of COVID 19 in Victoria made the governing body rethink their decision. CA will be releasing the new schedule next week.
