Big news coming in.
Yesterday sparked a new controversy in the India Vs England Test series after the ECB confirmed that the match has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 scare. Amidst all this, the former England captain has made a big allegation against BCCI.
He was quoted by ZEE News saying,
“Initially, the BCCI was always very concerned about this Test match. They wanted everything moved to make sure the IPL is a huge financial issue hanging over the game, over Indian cricket. They have already moved it, then moved it half of it this time around. Of course, this is about the IPL, but this is about players who are thinking: ‘If I get down positive here now, today, I have to do another 10 days’.”
He further added,
“You will recall that they tried to get it moved. Because of the finances involved, the IPL is non-negotiable to them. It simply has to take place. And so when a team pull out of a match like this, it reaches an inevitable but sad conclusion for Test ticket-holders. With no wriggle room for re-scheduling, the best they can hope for now is a stand-alone match in future.”
