The first Test between Australia and India, which was due to begin in Brisbane on Thursday, has been cancelled to give players time to grieve following the death of Phil Hughes.
Hughes, who had been in contention to replace injured captain Michael Clarke at the Gabba, passed away on Thursday after being hit in the neck by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield match in Sydney.
Cricket Australia said that it hopes to announce details for when the postponed Test match will take place "in the next few days".
Hughes's funeral will take place in his home town of Macksville on Wednesday and will be screened to visitors at both the Sydney Cricket Ground and Adelaide Oval.
Hughes, who played in 26 Tests, started his first-class career with New South Wales before switching to South Australia in 2013.
