Will they have to replace the whole squad now and play a second team?

[ShoonyaSifar]

Was bound to happen as the third wave surge is truly on in the UK, thankfully at a lesser severity than the 2nd wave..

 

I wonder how they plan to allow full capacity crowd vs the Pak or have the Euro semis and finals.

On the contrary, they will be beaten by a bunch of novices

Amidst all this, some our cricket team players were spotted in Football and Tennis courts enjoying without masks

You can’t play with masks on.

Can you imagine the outrage if this happened in India during a series?

I agree with Ramiz. Imagine if India team had 7 positive members when England was visiting, they would have walked off instead of waiting for 2nd XI

[sage]

They thought it was beneath them to play England Cs and get blown out

[mishra]

Playing C grade English side couldn’t bring best out of Pakistan. Series is pontless
