It says, “There has been informal discussion between the respective boards. Because of the Kovid-19 epidemic, the cricket program has been greatly affected. “

The Indian team is looking at a possible gap of six weeks after the completion of the World Test Championship final against New Zealand. This match against New Zealand will be played in Southampton from 18-22 June.

The first match of the five-match series against England will be played in Nottingham (4-8 August). It will be followed by Lords (12–16 August), Leeds (25–29 August), The Oval (2–6 September) and Manchester (10–14 September).

It is worth noting that earlier, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen had mentioned the same thing. Peterson had said that the BCCI should organize the remaining 31 matches of IPL 2021 in England only. Because most of the players of Team India will be in England at that time and players from other countries will also have no problem in coming to England.
