I think you'll find that no one is "forcing you" to do anything. I wasn't aware the Queen was reigning monarch of the sporting world BTW?

Isn't the ECB calling off the test?

Nope. ECB have confirmed the test is going ahead.

Sort of a microcosm of where we are really. We'll let ordinary people suffer economic harm as a result of decisions made by people who don't consult us in any meaningful way and treat us with contempt. The decisions themselves are irrational and mired in some sort of faux reverence for a bygone era and a way of life that much of the rest of the world has moved one from when we seem incapable of doing so.

But the reality is that many people think they have moved on from that era but in reality society has not. What people are experiencing now and will experience next week is that ‘society’ constraining the freedoms they have come to enjoy. Part of the price we all have to pay.
 
Strange that some sports are on tomorrow and some not. I’m not fussed either way as to be honest I’d rather play Spurs when we are firing fully and have all our players available.

Even if they later get all of the income they would have received over these 10 days—very unlikely given the difference between the seasonal periods in which the games will be played—that is income delayed by four months (going in to winter).

That is yet another unnecessary hardship born by those least able to bear it.
 
So, are we cancelling sporting events to pay respects to the Queen or are we going ahead with sporting events to pay tribute to the Queen? Please, as a loyal citizen, I must be informed as to what to do tomorrow!

Some of these businesses need every penny they can get right now. You may have noticed that there's a crisis going on at the moment that is severely affecting small and large businesses alike due to rising bills left right and center and the threat of closing the doors for some is real.
They may have just been able to take a one off hit but if the same happens next week and then it's the international break there's probably a fair few nervous people wondering what to do right now.

Not to mention its a fucking stupid decision in the first place anyway.
