The England Cricket Board has been rumored to resume cricketing activities. The ECB is expected to restart cricket matches behind closed doors. The ECB heads are considering installing coronavirus checkout and isolation units in the stadium to ensure the safety of the players and other members involved.

ECB had announced last week that there would be no professional cricket happening in the country until May 28. However, they are now expected to step up their planning and potentially play matches behind closed doors. The matches are expected to be telecasted and not have any spectators inside the stadium.

The cricket board is expected to have a busy English summer starting off with the West Indies due to splay a Test match series commencing from June 4. Later on, Australia and Pakistan are also amongst the teams who are scheduled to tour England during the summer.

The ECB’s director of special projects Steve Elworthy spoke with the media publication the Guardian and mentioned that if such planed stuff is supposed to continue, it would mean creating a “safe and sterile environment” at grounds.

Steve did not shy away from the questions and also decided to solve the query on the initial lockdown. The ECB project head said, “We’re mapping out what international matches would look like behind closed doors. The advice around mass gatherings was 500 people or fewer. That was guided by the potential impact on critical services like paramedics and doctors.”

Steve Elworthy ends with, “You would likely have to work within that number (which would be made up of essential matchday staff). Then you have to think about medical provisions, creating a safe and sterile environment around that venue, so that everyone who comes in is clear. So it’s how you test them at the gate, the isolation units that you have to put in. These are considerations we are thinking about.”
