Fans going might be impacted, but the games won’t stop.

Bloody typical, thought the weather might be the problem but it has been fine. Seems that the IPL has something to do with the cancellation whatever the authorities claim to the contrary.

india have pulled a fast one and the IPL is in 10 days and big money if the players have to miss out
the game should be given to england and not void ? because anybody else thinking this is a good way of getting out of playing so they can play IPL or 20/20 cricket

Ban the Indian players from playing in the IPL, that's what happens in football doesn't it??????
Oh no that's just a made up rule if you've lost your back up keeper to Covid and your inform forward plays for Brazil!!!!!

Today was the beginning of the End of test cricket as we know it.As much as people like Kohli talk a good game the Ipl and other franchise cricket is what is all about for the players.They may say that test cricket is the pinnacle but they earn more from trawling the world playing T20.Liam Livingstone is nowhere near the england team but is a very wealthy young man and fair play to him from beung an explosive T20 expert.
The West indies have some fine players who have all gone down the get rich quick way to the detriment of thier test side.I think in 20 yrs there will be no call for test cricket apart from England v Australia,Pakistan v India.All round the world the white ball game is taking precedent.The Ecb and Lancs were not insured for covid and face a 20 million loss the BCCI will compensate them the IPLs tv rights are 300 million thats before advertising and sponsorship.The sad thing is in 20 yrs people will not remember great T20 players.Quality test cricketers become legends all followers of test cricket know what i mean.Can anyone remember who won the last blast,Ipl,Cpl Psl and bigbash.Micheal Holding was spot on when he said that all this slog it cricket was bad for the game.
