ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney has lauded England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for its efforts in making a bio-secure setting for the Test series against West Indies starting on Wednesday.
International cricket will return after 117 days as England and West Indies have interaction in a three-match series beginning on the spectator-less Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
Sporting actions had been suspended globally in March in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
“We are delighted at the resumption of international cricket with England taking on the West Indies in a Test series beginning tomorrow (July 8). I would like to thank the ECB for their tireless efforts in ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to ensure the safety and security of participants,” Sawhney mentioned in an ICC assertion.
Both groups are staying on the resort which is part of the Ageas Bowl stadium. The subsequent two Tests will likely be held on the Old Trafford in Manchester.
“Exactly four months ago to the day, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final was watched by millions of fans the world over, and we are sure the excitement remains as high.
“I want each groups and the match officers the perfect for what guarantees to be an thrilling series.”
