    "editor1": "<p><strong>Melbourne, May 29:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Cricket Australia chief executive Kevin Roberts has explained the board&#39;s decision regarding Perth Stadium not being awarded the hosting rights for an India Test during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy scheduled to be played later this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The four Tests of the much-anticipated series will be played at Gabba, Adelaide Oval, MCG and the SCG respectively starting December 3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Roberts stated that Brisbane had only hosted two high-profile matches recently as compared to Perth&#39;s four and that is why Gabba got the nod for a match in the next India series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If Perth received the India Test (this year), it would mean that Perth would have hosted two England Tests and two India Tests over the eight-year cycle for a total of four ... whereas Brisbane would have only hosted two,&quot; Roberts told reporters as per The West Australian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;So that would have created an imbalance over the cycle of the Future Tours Programme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;And in the national interest and ensuring we take high-profile Test matches to cricket fans in Queensland, it was a more well-balanced solution. Assuming, of course, that we could get full crowds in play, that&#39;s when this schedule was determined,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The more balanced solution was to play the India Test in Brisbane, meaning over the eight-year cycle it would see Perth hosting three Tests against India and England and Brisbane also hosting three Tests against India and England.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA) chairman Tuck Waldron had expressed his displeasure and said &#39;it is a kick in the guts to WA&#39; after missing out on hosting a match against one of the best teams in world cricket currently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m really disappointed in this decision, I think it is the wrong decision. I just can&#39;t understand why they&#39;d make that decision,&quot; Waldron told reporters in Perth on Thursday as per cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a kick in the guts to WA, to all our cricket-loving people and to our WACA members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When you&#39;ve got one of the best stadiums in the world and the second-best cricket venue in the world, the time-slots back to India for TV, etcetera; to me it&#39;s a no-brainer,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
