World Test Championship final: Britain imposes travel ban on India, yet ICC confident about final
The ICC World Test Championship final seems confident about the event. However, after 103 cases of Indian variants of Corona in Britain, the country has decided to put India in the red list as a precaution.
After the UK’s ban on travel from India on Monday, there has also been a cloud of doubt over the event of the World Test Championship finals to be played here from 18 June to 22 June this year. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has said that in June, the final of the Test Championship between India and New Zealand will be played in Southampton as planned. Also, the ICC has said that, following the rules of safe bio bubble, this final match will be organized.
Let me tell you that, in view of the increasing cases of Corona in India, Britain has put it in the ‘Red List’, under which non-UK and Irish citizens from India will be banned from Britain. Also, it has been made mandatory for Britons returning from abroad to stay in a quarantine for 10 days in a hotel.
What did the ICC say in its statement
The ICC said in a statement released on Twitter, “We are discussing with the UK government about the organization of the World Test Championship final. We will talk to the countries involved in the Red List on how it will be held.” Along with the ECB, other ICC member countries have successfully organized cricket many times during this epidemic. We sincerely hope that we too will be able to do so and the final of the Test Championship will be held in June as per the pre-determined schedule. “
India and New Zealand have a title match
India scored 520 points under the WTC and entered the finals with 72.2 percent marks. On the other hand, New Zealand secured 420 points and had confirmed the final ticket with 70 percent marks. New Zealand has announced their team for this match under the leadership of captain Kane Williamson.
