The BCCI official said, "We haven’t given it a thought as yet. We have a World Cup and Australia is in lockdown (the country has closed its borders to all foreigners for six months) until the end of September. We have to see how they go for that (T20 World Cup). Depending on that, the bilateral series will be worked out."

India's tour of Australia is set to begin with a T20 tri-series in October and is scheduled to wrap up with a four-match Test series in December. Also, the T20 World Cup is scheduled for an October 18 start, but coronavirus has made its future look bleak.

According to Australian Associated Press, CA CEO Kevin Roberts had said, "If you contemplate the prospect of the international season, in particular, being affected, we have an issue of hundreds of millions of dollars on our hands."

"So it's very important that ... we do everything possible to stage the season. Whether or not there are people at the venue or not ... we will explore all viable options."
