Australia “bio-secure” tour of England is scheduled from September, according to reports on Monday.
The series constitutes three T20s and as many ODIs will begin on September 4, according to a report.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the tour will start with the T20s to be played on September 4, 6 and 8, followed by the ODIs on September 10, 12 and 15.As per the report, the Australian team will fly in a private jet to the UK and all the six matches are expected to be played in Southampton and Old Trafford in Manchester.

The Australian selectors named a 26-man preliminary list of players last week, from which the final squad for the tour will be picked.
At the time Cricket Australia’s chief of national teams Ben Oliver said restrictions the team’s players would face both in England and when they arrived home would be a key issue to resolve.
‘’We obviously take the quarantine requirements very seriously. It’s important we understand that fully before a decision on the tour is made,” Oliver said.
“For elite cricketers, elite athletes generally, the ability to train and stay fit and keep ticking over is an important factor.“Obviously the health and safety of players and staff and public health component is critical. The quarantine arrangements aren’t in place, they’re not confirmed’’ he added
