Cricket Australia have confirmed that
the first Test between Australia and
India scheduled to take place at The
Gabba, Brisbane on December 4 has
been postponed. Other details
surrounding the Test are yet to be
determined with priority being given
to Philip Hughes' funeral which is set
to take place on December 3.

The funeral is set to take place in
Hughes' home town of Macksville on
Wednesday. Cricket Australia have
been in touch with the Board for
Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) and
the Indian Test team, who have been
supportive of the move given the
nature of the circumstances.

"These are extraordinary
circumstances and we simply couldn't
or wouldn't expect our players to be
emotionally ready," said James
Sutherland, CEO of Cricket Australia.

"Their welfare is our absolute
priority. They are grieving and to
expect that they could play a high-
pressured, five-day Test match the
following day is out of the question.
"We appreciate the incredible
understanding and support of the
Board of Control for Cricket in India.

It has been nothing short of
outstanding during these difficult
times," said Sutherland in a
statement released by Cricket
Australia.

The rescheduled dates and other
logistics have yet to be worked upon
by Cricket Australia.

"We just ask the cricket community
for some patience as we work
through a range of scenarios in full
consultation with the players, the
Indian Board, the ICC and our
broadcasters," added Sutherland,
"We know that there are many
people who have purchased tickets
to the Test match who will be
wondering what happens next?

Once
the situation has been resolved, we
will advise them as a priority. Fans
should simply hold onto their tickets
until further notice."

First India-Australia Gabba Test postponed,
CA confirms
Cricket Australia (CA) on Saturday confirmed
that the first Test between India and Australia
at the Gabba scheduled for December 4 has
been postponed until an unspecified date. The
funeral of Phil Hughes will be held in his
hometown Macksville on December 3.
According to CA, the decision was taken
keeping in mind the funeral of Hughes
happening on Wednesday and would have been
inappropriate to get started with a Test match
the next day.
"These are extraordinary circumstances and
we simply couldn't or wouldn't expect our
players to be emotionally ready to start a Test
match the day after farewelling one of their
team-mates," Cricket Australia chief executive
James Sutherland said in a news release.
