As per the media release by Cricket Australia (CA), they have decided to open up Indian fan zones at all five Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-2025 venues, including the Melbourne and Sydney.
In the fan zones, dedicated seating will be provided to Indian fans, and the CA has asked the fans to book and secure their tickets in that specific zone. CA has also encouraged the fans to wear blue jerseys and bring their musical instruments to create an atmosphere to savour at the much-anticipated Test matches.
“Once they are on sale, fans are encouraged to secure their seats in the Indian fan zones and help enhance the vibrant atmosphere by donning blue attire and bringing traditional instruments such as the Dhol for a family-friendly experience,” the CA statement mentioned.
The five-match Test series will begin on November 22, 2024, in Perth and end with the New Year's Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), starting on January 3, 2025.
This is the first time CA has introduced the concept of fan zones in their Test matches.
