It's mostly about the IPL I'd guess. If they didn't have to jet of to the UAE right after this test they'd have played it.
I agree managing to be a bigger dickhead than sledger is quite some feat.RTB getting bites from India supporters that Sledger could only dream of here
There has to be some Covid clause for cancellations these days. Very little chance this will count as a forfeit imo. Someone in the camp is positive (physio was it?) so its reason enough for them to be worried.It will be interesting - to say the least - to see how this plays out. The ECB wording raises questions for me - "India are unable to field a team." Surely, if everyone has tested negative to COVID as far as we know, that isn't true? They appear to have chosen not to field a team, which to my mind puts a different slant on whether or not this is a forfeit.
Not for a second do I think that the final decision will be a forfeit and a 2-2 series result, mind.
If the players don’t have Covid does it count as a Covid cancellation though?There has to be some Covid clause for cancellations these days. Very little chance this will count as a forfeit imo.
WTC has clause of covid cancellationThere has to be some Covid clause for cancellations these days. Very little chance this will count as a forfeit imo.
I mean I'd guess the bcci have agreed some deal to compensate the ecb which is all that matters at the end of the day for the boards. Lets be honest England aren't reaching the final of the WTC, and the ecb don't really care whether it's 2-1 or 2-2.If this is about protecting the IPL, then this is going to get messy. But then how do you prove that
virus incubates and could take time for a positive test after false negativesIf the players don’t have Covid does it count as a Covid cancellation though?
I don’t know the rules btw. Just wondering.

Same applies to testing negative at any pointvirus incubates and could take time for a positive test after false negatives
like someone could test positive 2 or 3 days from now after testing negative
it won't. ecb will be paid off.If this is about protecting the IPL, then this is going to get messy. But then how do you prove that
