Authorities have confirmed extra security will be on deck at the Adelaide Oval for the third Ashes Test after the horrific terror attack at Bondi Beach.
Sixteen people are dead after two alleged gunmen went on a shooting spree at the world-famous tourist attraction in Sydney's eastern suburbs on Sunday.
Naveen Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old father, Sajid Akram, who is now deceased, are alleged to have committed the most heinous terror attack ever seen on Australian shores.
South Australian authorities have now explained the measures that will be put in place to ramp up security when the Test begins on Wednesday.
'We will be deploying a Security Response Section, which are general duties police officers with a higher level of training and additional equipment,' South Australian Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said on Monday.
'The Security Response Section was created a few years ago, specifically for providing enhanced levels of security in public places.

'They will be deployed in and around the cricket.'
According to a South Australian Police statement, the SRS 'was created as an extra layer of protection for people attending large events, and where large crowds gather'.
The statement adds that SRS officers 'will look different to general duties police officers - they will wear ballistic vests and carry rifles when on duty. Other equipment carried by SRS officers include a pistol, taser, pepper spray, baton, helmet and radio'.
Meanwhile, former England skipper and current TV commentator Michael Vaughan has played down any fears that the third Test could be postponed or cancelled as a result of the monstrosity in Bondi.
'It'll be a sombre affair without any question,' Vaughan told Piers Morgan after he and his family were forced to hole up in a Bondi restaurant during the attack.
'There's obviously gonna be remembrance of what's happened. But I think it's important in life that we don't back down to terrorism.
'I think you've got to carry on. You've got to show your support for everyone who has been affected.'
The Bondi attack comes less than two years after the stabbing spree that killed six people at nearby Bondi Junction.
At least 16 people died and many more were left injured after the alleged gunmen took aim at a crowd gathered for a Hanukkah celebration at the beach just before 7pm on Sunday.
Multiple videos posted to social media show the two gunmen standing on a footbridge connecting Campbell Parade to the Bondi Pavilion and firing shots into a crowd.
As many as 12 survivors are in critical condition in hospital.
Makeshift memorials sprung up on Monday morning in the beachside park where hundreds of people had earlier gathered to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese laid a wreath at the site and condemned the ambush on the Jewish festival of light as an 'act of pure evil'.
'This was an attack deliberately targeted at the Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah, which of course should be a joyous celebration,' Mr Albanese told reporters.
