The Adelaide Oval’s new hotel could be offered to the visiting Indian cricket team as a potential quarantine centre during its upcoming tour of Australia, which is currently under threat due to the rapidly-spreading Covid-19 pandemic. According to a report in The Age, South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) chief Keith Bradshaw has reached out to Cricket Australia boss Kevin Roberts to offer the new $42 million hotel for use by Virat Kohli’s side if it is allowed into the country. “Kangaroo Island and Rottnest Island have also been mooted as potential self-isolation sites for a visiting team,” the report said. The 14-day mandatory isolation for visitors can create problems for the Indian team which needs to maintain conditioning and form for competition. However, the 138-room new hotel, which is expected to open in September, would enable the world’s No.
