Melbourne, Aug 8: Cricket Australia believe they still have a lot of time left to decide whether they would shift the Boxing Day Test match between India and Australia from the Melbourne Cricket Ground amid the spike in COVID-19 cases in the state of Victoria.

Victoria is currently in the grip of a second wave of COVID-19 cases, putting Melbourne significantly behind the rest of the country in its recovery from the pandemic and putting into question its readiness to host major events.
