England wants to return to international cricket with a series of tests against the West Indies in July after Corona leaves tomorrow. However, the series will take place behind closed doors. The England Cricket Board is moving forward with that plan. The ECB is also optimistic about the series of tests against Pakistan in August. However, the entire national season, including the county championship, could be canceled. That is what the English media reported.
How many days have passed without a cricket in the terrible claws of Corona? All games in England are suspended until July 1. However, it is unclear whether the deadline will increase after that time. However, the English Cricket Board is no longer waiting. They want to return to the field next week after the lock opens.
England’s three-game test series against the West Indies was scheduled for June. It was postponed indefinitely. The ECB wants to return to the field in July. The board plans to start the first test starting July 8. In that case, cricketers will have only one week to practice before returning to international cricket.
Not only the West Indies series, but also the English Cricket Board are optimistic about staging a series of tests against Pakistan in August. There are also three tests in that series, the organizers plan to start the first test on August 5.
The Australian cricket team comes to England to play three ODI and three T20 matches. Which was originally supposed to be in June-July. The ECB plans to organize that series against Ajid in September. If necessary, all series will take place in the closed stadium.
The board has such a plan in the context of international cricket. However, the England Cricket Board has been unable to make a decision on the start of the national season. The entire national season, including the county championship, could be canceled, the English media feared. Organizers believe that it is not possible to continue the national season without allowing at least 500 spectators to enter the field.
The ECB has canceled the 100-ball franchise tournament. The announcement of the cancellation of the national season may come soon.
