India’s cricket squad are remaining in Adelaide in another indication that the postponed first Test against Australia will not go ahead in Brisbane.

The tourists were due to fly to Brisbane on Monday, but have put off travelling until the venue and dates for the first Test have been confirmed.

Cricket Australia is yet to announce its rescheduling plans after postponing the Gabba Test, originally slated to start on Thursday, as cricketers continue to mourn the death of Phillip Hughes.

The four-Test series was delayed so players could attend Hughes’ funeral on Wednesday at Macksville High School.

No announcement has been made as to whether the game will go ahead this week, be rescheduled for later in summer or abandoned.

However, it is expected Adelaide Oval will host what will become the first Test.

Late on Sunday, the tourists were still intending to travel to Brisbane the following day.

The change of plans suggest they are no longer working on the assumption a match will start at the Gabba later this week.

Cricket Australia and its Indian counterpart are still discussing the issue, trying to make room in a jam-packed schedule leading up to the one-day World Cup.

Australia’s Test squad travelled to Sydney following the shock death of Hughes, who was felled at the SCG on Tuesday.

The players have returned to their home towns and the next time they come together will be for Hughes’ service.

Captain Michael Clarke, a close friend of Hughes who wiped away tears to make an emotional statement on behalf of the team on Saturday, has already arrived in the NSW town.

Past and present players, who became friends with Hughes at all levels of the game, will descend on Macksville.

Indian management are making plans to ensure their players are able to attend the service.

Tickets sales have been suspended for the Gabba Test, with Cricket Australia working through a range of scenarios with players, the Indian board, the ICC and its TV broadcasters.

Australian Cricketers’ Association chief Alastair Nicholson asked for patience on Saturday regarding the uncertainty.

“The players are going through a grieving process and they must be afforded the opportunity to do so. As anyone can appreciate, this process doesn’t run according to a clock or a calendar,” Nicholson said.

“This is a unique situation and a unique response is required.”
