The last international match was played between Australia and New Zealand on 13 March. After that, all tournaments and bilateral series were postponed or canceled due to the Coronavirus epidemic. But now sports are slowly returning to normal. On the other hand, international cricket will be resumed with the test series between England and West Indies. This is a great news for cricket fans around the world, as they will at least be able to enjoy live cricket.
On the other hand, you will be surprised to know that when you watch live cricket on TV from Wednesday, you will see not one or two, but many major changes. So let us tell you about these changes.
The resumption of international cricket will take place in an empty stadium and spectators will not be allowed to sit in the stadium and watch the match. This decision has been made with the aim of stopping the spread of Coronavirus.
The second major change will be the hand sanitizer in every corner of the stadium, where players can periodically sanitize their hands. Using a sanitizer reduces the risk of infection, as it kills germs to a large extent.
It was often seen that the bowler was seen high-fiving or hugging with his fellow players after taking the wicket, but it would not be seen now.
No spectator will be present in the stadium. In such a situation, to encourage the players, the organizers have decided to play fake crowd noise music. Apart from this, big screens will also be seen in the stadium, so that the live view on TV can be seen well.
The ICC has decided to ban the use of saliva to shine the ball. If someone does this by mistake, they will get a warning first, while players can use sweat to shine the ball.
There will be no crowd noise in the stadium and there will be mikes on the stumps and many other places. In such a situation, the voice of the players can be heard clearly. Therefore, the ICC has warned the players that no one will use such language, which will cause trouble to anyone.
Players will entertain crores of sports lovers from all over the world, but they themselves have to live in a bio-safe environment during the entire series, in which they will only be allowed travel from hotel to stadium and stadium to hotel.
Keeping in mind the travel restrictions, the International Cricket Council has also decided that the host country can get their umpires, but that he should have experience. If the umpire is part of the ICC Elite Panel then it is a very good thing.
In the ICC World Test Championship, the big logo can be seen on the front of the white jersey of the players for the next one year. The purpose of this is that whatever damage has been done to the board, it can compensate from the sponsors.
