Ashes Test Might Not Take Place In Perth, Tasmania #1 Contender
Tasmania could be chosen as the venue to host the fifth and final Ashes Test after the Australian government gave a strong indication that Perth could be out of bounds because of the stringent quarantine rules being implemented in Western Australia.
While the exact arrangements for the touring England side are yet to be worked out, the possibility of the fifth and final Ashes Test taking place in Perth are next to nil as Western Australia requires arrivals to undergo a 14-day quarantine. The fourth Test at Sydney will end on January 9, while the Test in Perth begins five days later.
