He said that Cricket Australia is trying to come up with all the possible security measures in order to bring Team India coming to their country. And, it is worth because if that doesn’t happen then CA will have to suffer losses of 250 to 300 million dollars. As per him, India should agree on coming to Australia as it will solve lots of financial issues going on for the board.

“I think there’s a bit of safeguarding towards the potential of India not coming (on a tour in December/January) which is worth something like 250 to 300 million dollars. I’m hoping that they get here, that would solve a lot of issues,” Paine told ABC Radio.

He recited the fact that CA and government might opt for chartered planes and getting them into isolation as a part of safety measures. The Aussie Test skipper also added that this might give assurance to BCCI that their players are safe.

“I know there have been some early talks with Cricket Australia and the government around the potential of what could be done, chartering planes and getting them in isolation when they get here to make sure that we can get India here,” the 35-year-old added.
