- ECB keen to avoid repeat of South Africa abandonment
- Players to be offered ‘mental health screening’ ahead of tour
England will play two Test matches behind closed doors in Sri Lanka next month, the England and Wales Cricket Board has announced.
The ECB reportedly has ramped up biosecurity plans in a bid to avoid a repeat of this week’s abandonment of the South Africa tour and players will isolate for three days after arriving in Sri Lanka as well as undergoing full coronavirus testing every two days throughout the trip.
