A Covid drama with the start of the second day’s play in the Boxing Day Test between Australia and England delayed by half an hour following a positive test within the English team's family group.
Cricket Australia said the English side has undertaken RFT COVID tests and were given the all clear to travel to the MCG.
That revelation came as Channel Seven confirmed an asymptomatic staff member working on the Ashes broadcast also tested positive to the virus on Sunday evening.
The entire Seven commentary team has been changed as a result.
