Surrey's opening match in the divisional stage of the County Championship, against Durham at Chester-le-Street, has been cancelled following a positive Covid-19 test.

 

The unnamed member of Surrey's squad returned a positive result ahead of the Division Two match, which was due to start on Monday. In a statement, the ECB said a "significant number" of Surrey squad members had been deemed close contacts.

"The player has begun to self-isolate along with a significant number of the Surrey squad who have been identified as close contacts," the statement said.

So a player got tested positive

Here the physio got tested positive who worked with players after the 4th test. He would have worked with all fast bowlers, giving them massages. He would have worked with wk which is a tiring job and he would have worked with batsmen like Rohit, Pujara who had niggles. He would have worked with Jadeja too who had ankle issue. These were all close contacts of the physio.

Only gora lives matter. Indians were there just to print money for ECB. They had to play till the time they fell like flies on the field.

 

And attempt to guilt trip Indians is amazing. 

 

People travelled from different places, booked hotels, some many staff hired and Indian labors refusing to work. How dare they.

Great find. Did the fixture take place later?

Don't think so. The article says ECB is looking at how points could be split between teams. In fact, none of the county games affected by covid matches were rescheduled, all cancelled.

 

The interesting bit is while county matches got cancelled due to Covid cases in teams, despite similar cases, Hundred games went on.

 

Not a surprise to see that ECB's health concerns have been driven purely by their own commercial considerations
