The suggestion that we don't play a series against India is laughable. There is too much money involved. The series will be played. Likely to be in the UAE though.

There is notionally a gap in the calendar before Christmas though.

Windies and Pak risked their lives in the middle of the pandemic to tour - couldn’t have been easy for them

England won’t be able to say no to touring pak now for non-covid related grounds

Im not sure of your logic here - Because Pakistan toured in a bio bubble due to a respiratory illness the risk of potential terrorism in Pakistan is lessened? A crazy theory! Perhaps we could go sightseeing on the gaza strip aswell


I would hope that the ECB would treat each case individually. If its safe to tour Pakistan then happy days, would love to see England playing there again but this virus will have no bearing on the decision

At the time of windies and pak jumping on a plane, the U.K. was in the top 3 for deaths and infection rates - bio bubble or not, they still risked their lives coming to a pandemic zone. Not to mention the fact that both sides were ethnic minorities.

Up to you where you want to go sightseeing but at the time sightseeing in Gaza was probably considered safer than coming to a country with such high infection rates

It heavily weigh in on their decision to tour both countries

If the tour to India is cancelled, India are still scheduled to tour England next summer anyway.

BCCI are more interested in the IPL then Test cricket.

🤣🤣🤣 this is an amazing take.

I'd love to see us go and tour the Windies and Pakistan this winter though, but sadly I don't see the ECB doing it.

I can't wait for a future tour of Pakistan, but it isn't happening just yet. It will be amazing when it happens though! Aren't Bangladesh touring there soon?

Ignoring the inevitable hyperbole, it's great to see him back in the runs. Sounds like he had a pretty crap time at Lancs towards the end of his stint there, still a young player with a lot of talent and potential.

Misbah suggests Pakistan will play 5 bowlers and both leg spinners at Old Trafford. They’ll have an epically long tail if that’s the case.

He has moved for the better, sometimes a change can work. The stuff Allott put out to the press near the end showed he needed to move Counties.
There’s a few good young batsmen at Notts now with the right people around let’s hope he does well.

I’m sure there’s a few of us would like to see a solid season and a B side tour before he is talked about for the main side.
He’s got a lot of talent and that needs working on,still a very young player.
I’m not a Notts fan but would like to see Clarke push on too.
