India vs England, 5th Test cancelled: There are significant financial implications, says Lancashire CEO

The fifth and final Test in Manchester was called off just a couple of hours before the toss amid health concerns among India's players following a coronavirus outbreak in their camp.

Lancashire county cricket club CEO Daniel Gidney was absolutely "gutted and devastated" after the postponement of the fifth and final Test between England and India on Friday. The series finale was called off just a couple of hours before the toss amid health concerns among India's players following a coronavirus outbreak in their camp. The postponement will definitely prove costly for the England and Wales Cricket Board, which gets much of its revenue from men's Test matches and could be down a further 20 million pounds ($27.7 million) with no Test at Old Trafford, and also English county Lancashire, which misses out on a Test match and is not staging one next year when New Zealand and South Africa visit.
