Preparations for the resumption of cricket: The West Indies team arrives on a tour of England


London, Dt

Cricket, which was abruptly suspended due to the Corona epidemic, is all set to resume and the West Indies team has arrived in England on a special chartered flight. Before the six-member West Indies team, including four players, left for England, all of them were tested for Covid-17, which turned out to be negative. He will now be tested as a precautionary measure after arriving in England, after which he will be quarantined at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester.

West Indies cricketers will be in a 'biologically safe' environment during the seven-week tour of England. He will currently practice with the quarantine at Old Trafford Stadium. After a three-week quarantine, the Test series between the West Indies and England will begin on July 9. "This is the first and most important step towards the resumption of cricket," said Jason Holder, captain of the touring West Indies team. This is a new preparation for the game of cricket.

Given the current epidemic situation, the West Indies and England series will be played in a closed stadium. Southampton and Manchester have been selected for the three-Test series. The first Test of the series will start on July 9 at the Aegis Ball Stadium in Southampton. The next two Tests will be played in Manchester.

If not a single series is played in England this summer, the board is likely to lose ૨ 25m, which is why the series is being planned.
