Southampton, Dt
Cricket, which has been suspended since March due to the Corona epidemic, is set to resume tomorrow amid the epidemic. The match between England and the touring West Indies Coro free cricketers will be played from tomorrow at the Ross Ball Cricket Ground in Southampton in a closed stadium in the absence of spectators. Due to the Corona epidemic, players will not be able to use saliva to polish the ball, according to ICC rules. The Test match will start at 2.30 pm Indian time.
The West Indies team arrived in England a month ago to play a three-Test series and they are now thumping to return to the field after completing the quarantine period. In the meantime, all the cricketers and match officials have been tested in Corona and now the opening hours of the Test match are being counted. England's regular captain Joe Root is on leave to welcome his second child, which is why Ben Stokes will lead England.
West Indies captain Jason Holder is hoping for a fresh start to the new series. Football matches have started in closed stadiums amid the Corona epidemic and now that cricket is about to begin, fans and organizers around the world will be watching the match. After the wicket fell due to Corona, the players could not be seen shaking hands or hugging each other.
The ICC has banned spitting the ball with saliva in view of the possibility of corona infection, which will increase the difficulty of fast bowlers.
England: Stokes (Captain), Anderson, Archer, Boss, Broad, Burns, Butler (VK), Crowley, Danley, Pop, Sibley, Vox, Mark Wood.
Windies: Holder (Captain), Blackwood, Bonner, Brathwaite, Brooks, Campbell, Roston Chase, Cornwell, Doverich, Gabriel, Holder, Shy Hope, Joseph, Raifer and Roach.
