Tough To Strike A Balance: England Cricket Board After 7 Covid+ Tests

By IANS News July 06, 2021 • 23:07 PM View: 1413

After seven members of England cricket squad tested positive for Covid-19, director of cricket Ashley Giles admitted it was tough to strike a balance between keeping players safe even as government plans to open up the country and its sporting venues to public to bring in revenues.

"We are trying to look after our people and keeping them sane while protecting the revenues of the whole game. It is a difficult balance to strike," Giles told English media after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was forced to field nine uncapped players in a revised squad for ODIs against Pakistan.
