‘This Border-Gavaskar Test series will be talked about for generations to come’: CA’s open letter to BCCI
Australia might take time to recuperate from the 2-1 sequence defeat to Ajinkya Rahane’s India, a aspect stitched along with debutants and web bowlers. This was after the house staff ended up embarrassed after their vaunted assault proved incapable of dismissing India twice in Sydney and Brisbane, regardless of ample time to take action on fifth-day pitches.

A day after all of the euphoria, CA chairman Earl Eddings and interim CEO Nick Hockley penned an open letter to their Indian counterpart, BCCI, after the 2 groups accomplished a profitable sequence amid tough instances because of the ongoing pandemic.
“Australian cricket will forever be grateful to the BCCI for their friendship, trust, and commitment in helping to deliver a series that has brought joy to many millions of people around the world at a time they needed it most. The unique challenges of international touring during a global pandemic are considerable and we thank India’s players, coaches and support staff for all they have given,” CA wrote in its letter.
“Over the past nine weeks, the Indian and Australian men’s teams completed outstanding One-Day International and Twenty20 International series, followed by one of the greatest Border-Gavaskar Test series ever contested. Despite the many public health and logistical challenges, the BCCI engaged with a spirit of cooperation befitting their status as one of international sport’s greatest ambassadors.”
“From the chic quick bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins, to the fantastic batting of Ajinkya Rahane and Steve Smith, to the thrilling debuts of Shubman Gilland Cameron Green – and far, far more – the previous two months of cricket have been completely enthralling. We will always remember the sacrifices made by our pals on the BCCI that made all this doable, CA added.
“May we also take this opportunity to thank everyone who played their part to deliver this memorable series – governments, health officials, venues, broadcast and commercial partners, cricket associations, players, match officials, staff and their families. On behalf of everyone at Cricket Australia, we congratulate Team India for the resilience, courage and skill demonstrated in retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in a series that will be talked about for generations to come.”
