Former Australian fast bowler, Brett Lee is quite hopeful that he will be witnessing a substantial amount of crowd at the stadiums during the four-match Test series between India and Australia later this year. India and Australia are scheduled to lock horns with each other for a four-match Test series later this year, beginning in Brisbane from December 3. Currently, all international cricket has come to a halt due to coronavirus pandemic, and it is being speculated that international matches will be held in front of empty stands.

During the conversation, Brett Lee expressed, “I really hope that when India tours Australia this year, there will be spectators allowed, but if they are not allowed, it will be difficult, when I played cricket, I used to get a lot of energy from the crowd. Maybe, if there is no crowd, they can have speakers with the fake crowd in, it can be used in the India-Australia series.”
During 2018-19, India managed to defeat Australia in Australia for the first time in a Test series Down Under. However, in that series, te host dearly missed the valuable services of David Warner and Steve Smith as the duo were serving a one-year ban for their role in the ball-tampering scandal against South Africa.
In 2019, the duo made a memorable international comeback to the Australian team. Earlier this year, Australia displaced India as the number one team in the ICC Test rankings.
