International cricket returns with English home season
England’s ongoing home fixtures are being played without crowds and with social distancing measures in place. Moreover, the England and Wales Cricket Board has also implemented several biosecurity measures to ensure the smooth functioning of the game. Due to the contagious nature of the disease, the board handed a one-match suspension to Jofra Archer when the speedster was found guilty of breaching biosecurity protocol.
The England and Wales Cricket Board, in partnership with English cricket broadcasters Sky Sports, are set to release a special documentary on Tuesday, August 11. The documentary, titled ‘Behind Closed Doors: The COVID Test Match’, will chronicle how English cricket officials and broadcasters successfully created a bio-secure environment for the cricketers in order to safely conduct matches amidst the pandemic.
