Didn't the same thing happen with Eng Vs SA last year..don't think there was so much discussion here at that moment 
. Its a shame that this fascinating series ended/paused this way but Covid is a reality now and everyone needs to acknowledge that even with the best will in the world such cases would be inevitable sometimes. India already wanted to bring forward this test but ECB couldn't because of 'The Hundred' so don't think IPL argument is viable as ECB did the same.
Personally was looking very forward to watching this test and took a Friday off for the same reason but not to be.
The same thing didn’t happen with Eng v SA as both sets of players in this match has negative results, so they are, we’re, clear to play. They are double jabbed which they weren’t in that previous series.
The end of this series was too close to risk the Indian players in the IPL and that’s the reason they wanted the firth test brought forward.
There’s now a question on if the insurance will pay out as all players were negative, Lancashire are refunding 95000 tickets, not to mention catering and everything else.
You’re quite right thou, players must be protected, in a series this financially viable why the senior Indian management thought it ok to attend a book signing with excess of 100 people in attendance.
That takes some getting your head around.
